THE BRITISH FLEET
REVIEW IN JULY , , - LONDON, February lb. (Received Feb. 16, at 1 a.m.) Mr H. C. By water, in the Daily Telegraph, says the naval review at Spithead on July 16 will be the most imposing spectacle of its kind for 21 "years, and will probably include nine battleships, two battle cruisers, three aircraft carriers, 36 leaders and destroyers, and many submarines and auxiliary craft, probably totalling 70 vessels. The total of officers and men is likely to exceed 24,000. If precedent is the fleets will be moored in three lines, through which will steam the royal yacht, which after the review or next day will lead the combined fleets seaward for tactical exercises.
