Nine of these vessels will be attached to the new Pacific fleet. The Eastern Fleet of the Royal Navy is to be renamed the Pacific Fleet, and will consist of three units: the East Indies, Australia, and China Seas. As far as is at present known, there will be included in each of these units a large armcured cruiser of the new improved ' Invincible class, three cruiser scouts, six destroyers of the "' river " class, and three submarines of the "C " class. This fleet is the result of the meetings between the naval authorities and those representatives of the colonies who were in this country recently for the Imperial Defence Conference.
