An item referred to the
Allgemeine Mil. Zeitung reporting that the Russian Department of Navy asked for a budget for the period 1896-1902. That year was the budget 57 million, each year increased with a half million ending in 1902 with a budget of 60,5 million. Laid down were the Admiraal Apraxin and a similar ship (1), the Roszja, Rotislaw and a destroyer of the Sokol-design further more the Swjetlana, Pereswjet (2) and Osljabja. In France was an electric powered submarine built. Thirty torpedo boats were being built. The so-called Voluntary Fleet was to be increased in the coming 5 years with the Olga, Uragan, Kijew, Rhatyr and Korjec to be built in Russia (one), Sweden (two), France (one) and USA (one); correct spelling of names is doubtful.
