HC Deb 05 March 1923 vol 161 c74W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any of the vessels of the Royal Indian Marine have any fighting value in a war with a first-class naval Power in the Pacific?

Commander EYRES-MONSELL:

The answer is in the negative. I may add, however, that the following vessels of the Royal Indian Marine would be useful for auxiliary patrols and minesweeping, namely:

  • " Elphinstone."
  • " Havelock."
  • " Pathan."
  • " Baluchi."
  • " Lawrence."
