Bowing to growing sentiment in Parliament, the Government announced today that it would augment the planned naval construction programme with a third destroyer-leader of the Project 1942 Kappa type and a further four escort sloops of the Project 1942 Theta type, making a total of eight such vessels for the Royal Yugoslav Navy. In response, Vasilije Petkovic, chairman of the newly formed Navy League, promised that the League would raise more than sufficient subscriptions to fund the third destroyer-leader.
