ATOMIC AGE NAVY
GREAT CHANGES FORECAST
Recd. 6 p.m. London, Dec. 29. The change from the present Navy to the atomic age navy would be as great as that from sail to steam. This belief was expressed by the Third Sea Lord, Rear-Admiral C. S. Daniel, in a speech at. the launching of a Tiger class cruiser.
He added that there was nothing more expensive than an obsolete navy, but construction would necessarily be on a small scale for the next two or three years. “We have entered the atomic era, which most certainly will have a farreaching effect on naval construction,’’ he said. “I believe we shall find one day we will be in a position to start on a radically new naval construction programme.”
