AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.
Extensive Use Foreshadowed. £3,000,000 Vessel Launched At Birkenhead. Press Association—Copyright. London, April 14. Costing £3,000,000, the aircraft, carrier Ark Royal was launched by Lady Hoare, wife of the First Lord of the Admiralty, at Birkenhead today. The ship is the most up-to-date of its kind in the world. Sir Samuel Hoare's speech foreshadowed the extensive use of air-craft-carriers to convoy merchantmen carrying foodstuffs and raw materials to Britain from the Empire in time of war. They would enable the fleet ito search for raiders with greater success, he said. Several similar aircraflt-cawiers are being constructed.
