Plans for Navy expansion and capital ships debated
The article outlines two plans to increase navy strength by 16 capital ships. One plan proposes two dreadnoughts, two battle cruisers, sixteen destroyers, thirty coastal submarines, several scout cruisers, a gunboat, a fuel ship, and a hospital ship.
