HC Deb 22 September 1909 vol 11 c580W
Mr. CLOUGH

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will give a full list of smaller craft, scouts, torpedo destroyers, and so forth that are necessarily attached to the "Dreadnought" when it is in full commission, and state what was the capital cost of the "Dreadnought" and of all its attendant smaller craft; and what is the annual cost in maintenance, upkeep, and ammunition of the "Dreadnought," and of the scouts, torpedo destroyers, and so forth which are necessarily attached to it?

Mr. McKENNA

None of the vessels mentioned are necessarily attached to the "Dreadnought" when she is in full commission. The capital cost of the "Dreadnought," including guns and ordnance stores, is £1,968,083; the annual cost of maintenance and repairs is £52,500.
