§ 33. Lord ERSKINEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what is the comparable Washington standard tonnage of the cruisers of the "Hawkins" class which appear in the Navy List as being of 9,750 tons displacement?
Mr. ALEXANDERThe standard displacement corresponding to the Navy List displacement of 9,750 tons (which was the figure for these ships when designed in 1915) would be approximately 9,000 tons. Owing to modifications and additions during building and while on service, the standard displacements of the four vessels of the class are now:
| Tons. | |||
| "Effingham" | … | … | 9,770 |
| "Frobisher" | … | … | 9,860 |
| "Hawkins" | … | … | 9,800 |
| "Vindictive" | … | … | 9,996 |
