The terrific speed of the new British
torpedo destroyer, II. NJ. S. Desperate, is
the topic of the hour in naval circles. The
last trial of this boat in six runs on the
Maplin mile, with the standard load on
board, showed mean speed of 30.46 knots,
or thirty-five miles an hour, with $500
horsepower, 210 pounds pressure, "a inches
vacuum, 406 revolutions. This is the fast
est boat yet built. The Lucania would
make fifty of her, but she has q sixth of
the Lucania's power, although with but so
Atlantic in little over four days. She is
210 feet over ALL with beam of 10 feet 6
inches and depth of 13 feet6 inches. The
Government of Great Britain has paid
closer attention to the development of this
class of vessel for its navy tnan any other
power. and orders for forty-two vessels of
the kind have been placed with the large
shlpbuilding firms of the country.
In recent gunnery trial TO determine
the efficiency of the battery placed on this
type of vessel target the size of a first
class torpedo boat was anchored in the
center of q circle of radius of $500 YARDS
Four series of attack were made on this
target at different speeds, and in each case
the firing lasted but one minute. In the
first series, beginning at 1900 yards, d is
tance of $40 yards was run at the rate of
ten miles an hour. In the eight rounds
fired one shot was put through the smoke
stack of the dummy torpedo-boat In the
second attack, at 800 yards, three of the
eight rounds pierced the coming tower,
boiler and intermediate compartment. In
the third attack, beginning at 1900 yards,
the boat was speeded up to "a knots, and
OF the seven rounds fired while covering
800 yards two rounds pierced the smoke
stack. In the fourth attack. made while
the boat was steaming at the highest pos
sible speed and covering 800 yards from an
initial distance Of HOO yards, two of the
eight rounds fired pierced the turtleback
and the coming tower. An average of
six carefully aimed shots per minute was
maintained, and the ammunition was
promptly supplied at this rate. but it could
not be increased.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
