COMPOSITE GUNBOArs.
Two Of the New Vessels to Be Sheath
With Wood.

Two Of the Now vessels to Be Sheathed
with Wood.
Secretary Herbert today took . step that
marks radical change in the policy Of the
Navy Department in the matter OF
tho construction Of small cruisers. After
mature consideration and full discussion
with the board OF bureau chiefs, he has
directed that two Of the three 1,2O0-ton gum
boats authorized by Congress be constructed Of
the composite type.
That means that the frames Of the vessels
and part Of the structure above the water
line be made OF steel, but that tine
hull be covered with wood planking.
This wood planking In turn will be sheathei
with copper, and thus the vessels will
be enabled to make long cruises in tropical
waters without going through the expensive
process OF docking and scraping The cost Of
the composite type is not likely to be in excess
Of the cost of q steel vessel of similar size.
