FAST CRUISERS.
A SPEED Of THIRTY KNOTS. HALT IN BRITISH BUILDING. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received June 7, 8.10 p.m. London, June 6. After the launch of the light cruiser Effingham at Portsmouth on June 8 there will not be a single warship of any kind building in Britain for the Royal Navy. The date of laying down four capital ships to replace obsolete vessels is uncertain. The Effingham is the last of the four most powerful light cruisers in the world, seventy thousand horse-power turbine engines giving a speed of thirty knots. Oil fuel will be used. This type of vessel was designed in 1915 to deal with enemy raiders.—Times Service.
