The training fleet, in future, will be conducted on more practical Jines, demanding an increase in quotas for fuel for practice and ■ammunition. The tendency to over-specialisation is being checked and 'special officers will, in future, be required to take their share of deck duty.

It is believed that this will raise the navy standard of seamanship'.
