Beresford Attacks Navy Shortcomings and Dreadnought Policy
Lord Charles Beresford spoke in Hull asserting the Coventry firm Mulliners informed the Admiralty in May 1906 of Germany’s rapid shipbuilding and that since then no Admiralty order had been placed. He criticized the Navy’s 16 000 personnel shortfall and the short-service system while warning he might risk Official Secrets Act penalties. He condemned evasive official policy and warned Germany now outspends Britain in construction and ships.
