do so we'll Nevertheless she ought to be equal
to 1G knots, and that other conditions being
duy considered, is a respectable rate of speed
for a heavy battleship. They have some in the
French navy-such as the Carnot, the Martel
and the Taurcguiberry-w can beat it. being,
when fully laden and under only natural draft,
good for II knots in ordinary service There are
perhaps some in the British navy. toO-such as
the Campus. which is rated at 1871 knots under
natural draft. But the Campus is in other re-
specS decidedly inferior to the Iowa, as we shall
see The Majestic of the British navy, is more
nearly her equal, and she can make no better
speed than the Iowa.
If we regard the Iowa as the best American
battle-ship. and the Campus and Majestic as the
models after which the new British ships are to
be made a comparison of the three will prove
instructive In speed, as already stated the
Iowa and Majestic may be rated at 16 and the
Canopus at IS knots, or little better all around.
In size the Iowa is much the smallest being Of
only 11410 tons. to the Canopus's 1900 and the
Majestic's 1890. Likewise. the Iowa's horse
power is only 1000, while the Canopus's is
capacity Of the Iowa is 1,7SO tons of the Cano-
pus $3.50 and Of the Majestic 1900. All three
vessels are of the high frceboard type. The
Iowa has an amidships belt of armor II inches
thick, the rest Of the hull being covered with
4-inch armor the barbettes with 17-inch, the
turres with 1J-inch, and the protective deck is 3
inches thick. The Majestc's side armor is only
o inches thick, the barbettes II inches and the
deck from 2la TO inches. The Campus has only
G inches OF side armor 10nch barbettes and
2-inch deck, with another 1-inch deck placed so
high TO be Of little or protective value. The
batteries Of the Iowa contain four Pinch, eight
Majestic and Campus each four Pinch and
twelve Gnch guns.
The Iowa may thus be reckoned equal to the
Majestic. but inferior TO the Canopus in speed
and stcaming radius. She Is slightly superior to
either in offence, and decidedly superior in de.
fence. At a mile or more her guns could riddle
the Campus and seriously endanger the Ma.
jestic, while theirs would do her little harm. A
Pinch gun can send prOjectile through 30
inches OF iron. If we reckon the best steel
armor TO be three times as strong as iron, then
II inches Of II Is the least that can be relied upon
for protection The Iowa has II inches, and
may be reckoned proof against puncture. But
tho Majestic has only inches, or % per cent
less than the minimum of safety She would
have to rely upon her deck, therefore, for pro-
lection. For not only would the lowa's Pinch
guns pierce her side armor, but her S-inch guns
would do the same, since they are capable Of
penetrating ~ inches Of Iron. or inches of steel
