The Indiana Has the Thickest Armor Plates
OF Any War ship.
Philadelphia Record.
The tbickest armor plates ever put on an
American war ship have just been placed
on the new heavy armed cruiser
Indiana. in course OF construction
which are of nickel-steel, are fourteen
inches thick, 6 feet high. 10 feet long. and
weigh about twenty six tons each. They are
diagonal plates, sprung from the sides OF the
vessel in an elliptical form. through its In
terror, about seventy-hv feet from each
end.
There are five of them for each end of
the ship, and they are placed in the clip
tical position rather than straight across
the ship. as Is the custom In English war
ship construction. SO as to better resist
strain in collision and defect shot, should
it break through the thinner plates of prov
and stern armOr.
When the vessel is sunk to her fighting
line by the admission of water TO her bulk
heads the plates will stand Ihree feet above
and three feet below the water-llne and so
protect the machinery of the cruiser from
any serious damage from shot. The plates.
as they come to the yard. are of the exact
shape required. and are without alteration
bolted into position by tap bolts from the
rear, 80 as not TO weaken their faces.
The plates were forged at the works of
the Bethlehem Iron Company, where they
were in course of construction three
months. and sent out about four weeks ago.
Since then they have all been placed in
posltion-a remarkable feet, considering
the time. They are worth about SIS, GOO
apiece.
The side armor of the Indiana will be
eighteen inches thick. and each plate will
weigh forty six tons
Diagonal plates of the same thickness M
those of the Indiana have just arrived from
