Naval Review at Spithead Arranged.
LONDON, February 15. Mr Hector By water, naval correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph,” says:— “ The naval review at Spithead on July 16 will be the most imposing spectacle of the kind for twenty-one years. It is likely to include nine battleships, two battle-cruisers, three aircraft carriers, thirty-six flotilla leaders and destroyers, 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 Royal yacht, which, after the review or on the next day, will lead the combined fleets seaward for tactical exercises.”
