NAVAL REVIEW
KING’S SILVER JUBILEE IMPOSING SPECTACLE PROMISED (Unitea Presß Association— By Eleotrin Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 15th February. Mr Hector Bywater in the “Daily Telegraph” says the naval review at Spithead on 16th July will be the most imposing spectacle of its kind for 21 years. It is likely to include nine battleships, two battle cruisers, three aircraft carriers, thirty-six leaders and destroyers, and many submarines and auxiliary craft, probably totalling seventy vessels. The total of officers and men is likely to exceed 24,000. If precedent is followed, the fleets will be moored in three lines through which will steam the Roya] yacht which after the review or the next day will lead the combined fleets seaward for tactical exercises.
