In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Your letter of 18 April advised us that the oversetting of the ST DAVID at Portsmouth will cause choking of the harbour if the ship is not weighed or blown up this summer. You have sent us a proposal made by Mr Bond for doing this and you are directed to give your opinion what is fitting to be done.
