Another factor to be ,taken into consideration is the ‘age of the ships. For example, the German tonnage, while small, is largely new construction and the Nazi navy is probably the most modern of all fleets. Again, while the United States has six aircraft carriers to Great Britain’s nine, our ships are more efficient and modern and are considered elear- ly superior to the British carriers.
