NAVY DEPARTMENT COMPARES
NAVAL STRENGTH OF NATIONS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The rap
id rise of the United States as a
naval power during the past two
years is graphically demonstrated in
figures showing the sea strength of
the various world powers, compiled
by the navy department's office of
naval intelligence. They show that
the United States, close pressed by
France in 1917 for its place as
third naval power in the world, is!
now second only to Great Britain
and is at present pushing to com
pletion a building program that will
make the American navy, for the
first time in recent history, a for
midable contender for first naval
honors.
A little more than two years ago,
the figures show, Germany, ’then
second naval power, boasted morj
than 100 more ships of all classes
than the United States, with a total
tonnage exceeding that of the Am
erican navy by nearly 200,000 tons.
Great Britain’s fleet at that time
numbered a total of 680 ships, ag
gregating 2,375,564 tons, as com
pared with Germany's 262 ships and
,1,058,240 tons, and the United
States' 153 ships and 860,017 tons.
Today, Germany, now in third
place among naval powers, has a
j “paper” navy of 450 ships of all
types, totaling 826,637 tons. These
figures do not include German ves
sels surrendered to the Allies or
Russian vessels in the hands of the
Germans. Regarded from the stand
point of fighting efficiency as distin
guished from number of ships ani,
tonnage, Germany is outclassed by
both France and Japan, her navy
being composed almost entirely of
old and obsolete vessels. The pride
of Germany’s sea power was sur
rendered to the Allies at Scapa
Flow, where many of them were
sunk by their officers and crews.
Japan, fifth naval power in 1917,
has passed France and Germany
both and now ranks next to the
United States in fighting sea
strength. The actual standing of
the naval powers of the world to
day from the standpoint of modern
fighting strength, according to the
navy department’s figures, is Great
Britain, United States, Japan,
France, Germany, Russia, Italy.
The completion of all vessels now
building and projected will add 219
ships, totaling 500,000 tons, to the
British navy, as compared with 349
ships and 1,116,389 tons for the
United States; 24 ships and 167,200
tons for Japan, and 13 ships and
96,000 tons for Germany, accord
ing to the most authentic figures
available at he navy department. |
The completion of the present
building program, a matter of about
three years, will find the chief naval
powers of the world with the fol
lowing relative strengths: Great
Britain, 955 ships, aggregating 2,
772,542 tons; United States, 608
ships, totaling 2,117,922 tons; Ja
pan 170 ships, 785,239 tons; France,
253 ships, 719,237 tons, and Ger
many, 463 ships, 923,437 tons.
As a result of the great torpedo
boat destroyer building program car
ried out by the United States during
the war, the American navy no.v
includes more than 150 destroyers
of the fastest and latest type, with j
nearly 200 more building or con
tracted for. Great Britain owns
about 425 of this type of vessel,1
many of them old and of little
modern naval value, and has about
110 building or authorized. Ger
many’s destroyer force has been so
j
reduced as to make it a negligible i
factor. Japan owns 40 modern de- i
stroyers, according to best available
figures, and has about 20 under;
construction.
Great Britain emerged from the1
war with by far the most powerful
battleship and battle-cruiser force
in the world; although the United
States now has under construction
:
a formidable aggregation of major
ships. England’s navy today in
cludes 55 battleships and 9 battle
cruisers less than 20 years old, with
four powerful battle-cruisers now
under construction.
The United States has 36 battle
ships capable of holding a place in
a modern battle line and not in
cluding a number of old type bat
tleships listed for sale or the scrap
heap. Thirteen of the most mod
ern battleships in the world are
under construction for the United
States, and six battle-cruisers are
authorized and will be completed
during the next three years.
Japan has 13 battleships and 7
battle-cruisers completed and 4 bat
tle-cruisers under construction or
authorized. Germany retains 30 bat
tleships and 1 battle-cruiser, most
I of which are of practically no naval
j value, and has 2 battleships and 3
battle-cruisers laid down, on which
construction has been stopped.
France has 18 battleships and no
battle-cruisers completed and 5 bat
tleships and 4 battle-cruisers under
i construction.
The completion of the present
building programs will find the fol
lowing lineup of major ships: Great
Britain, 55 battleships and 13 bat
tle-cruisers; United States, 49 bat
tleships and 6 battle-cruisers; Japan,
13 battleships and 11 battle-cruis
ers; Germany, 32 battleships and 4
battle-cruisers, still subject to the
final naval peace terms, and France.
23 battleships and 4 battle-cruisers.
Great Britain leads the world in
cruiser and light cruiser strength
with a total of 118 vessels of these
types, as compared with 30 for the
United States, 28 for Japan, 37
for Germany, and 19 for France.
Two naval powers formerly of
considerable strength, in addition to
Germany, have been at least tem
porarily eliminated as a result of
the war, Russia and Austria-Hun
gary’s sea forces having been de
moralized. The insignificant Turk
ish naval power is held by the Al
lies.
