Then, when they get in convoy they can travel no faster than the slowest ship, ; which may be six to eight knots. Finally, damage to British ports | complicates loading and unload- ing. All these delays add up to one huge delay, a great reduction in efficiency. Nobody knows exact- ly what that reduction is. Most American shipping men _ figure it’s at least 60 percent. That re- duces the present British mer- chant fleet, for all practical pur- poses, from an actual 15,500,000 tons, to the equivalent of 7,200,- 000 pre-war tons—little more! than half the tonnage at the start | of the war.
