Shortage Of Marines Signals Naval Strain
Britain faces a shortage of trained sailors to crew new ships despite ample recruits. The 1952 submarine fleet gains include quick diving types and a 540 ton coastal class. Britain builds more destroyers, uses heavier tonnage for more guns and better seaworthiness, doubles guns in some classes, and emphasizes rate of fire. New motor torpedo boats remain unproven but may fit ships in emergencies, with several carried in battleships or cruisers. Five 55,000-ton battleships are under construction and 34,000-ton cruisers built in 1925 set a radical design precedent for forthcoming 14-inch gun battleships.
