Salamis Found

An artist's impression and technical data relating to the misterious 'Improved Salamis' battleship that the Hellenic navy is building have been obtained by your intrepid reporter, at great personal risk.
The actual Salamis class mount 12 14"/52 guns but the 'improved' vessel weakens her firepower by mounting only 10 such guns. However her speed has been increased to 25knts from the 23knts of the Salamis. This 25knt speed greatly increases her lethality by being able to overhaul all capital ships in the Marina Militaire. Surely this should serve as a dire warning to our government.
A MM official when approached had the simple statement of 'no comment'.
However the Rome Revue approached right-wing politician, Benito Mussolini for his views and he gave the following statement; "This is preposterous. We, the Italian people, cannot have some Greek scum possess ships more powerful than ours. This ship is a direct threat to the Italian people. We should destroy it, and the rest of the Hellenic Navy before we have these pig-farmers dictating policy for us. Our Government should immediately build more ships, that are bigger, faster and better."
This statement coincides with riots outside the Greek embasy earlier this week, when fortunately no one was hurt.
