Cost of British Navy Warships Sets National Budget
A British Admiralty calculation shows annual costs to maintain ships with battleships at 1.16 million dollars per year, destroyers 55 thousand, and torpedo boats 10.6 thousand. The figures contrast sharply with American costs and highlight the high expense of naval upkeep, including hulls, machinery, and ordnance. The analysis critiques shore-plant waste and calls for coordinated budgeting across bureaus.
