BRITAIN’S NAVAL DISARMAMENT
Mr. Amery, in Parliamentary papers, states that the number of flag officers on the active list is as folloys: Admirals of the Fleet: 6. Admirals: 12. Vice-Admirals: 22. Rear-Admirals: 55. These numbers were in accordance with pre-war figures, to which the Flag List has been reduced since the war. Thirteen battleships were in full commission and four in commission with reduced crews. The staff now employed at the Admiralty numbered 5200, but would be reduced by some 20 per cent, before the end of the calendar year. The corresponding number in 1914 was 2072. The cost of the Admiralty Office for 1914-15 was estimated at £443,500, and for the present year it was estimated at £1,752,800.
