 40. Acive fleet savings.-Calculations of vesel-operating costs have been based
 solely on the wages and subsistence of crews, on the costs of fuel, ship supplies,
 and stores, repair, and hull insurance, omitting entirely the capital costs, carrying
 charges, obsolescence, taxes and general overhead.
 Various factors, prinipally the class and the speed, enter into any estimate of
 construction costs, but conservative average valuations of the vessels concerned
 in our studies may be stated as follows:
