Close after the news that the con-
tracts had been awarded for 26 new
torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers. comes the announcemeut'that
the formal award has been made of the
three new battleshdps provided fer by
the last Congress, the Maine, the Ohio
and the Missouri. These will be even
superior to the Alabama. Wisconsin
and Illinois now in process Of building
and it will be nearly three years before
they will be an active part of our
grand new navy. It Is highly crafty
ing to our national pride to know that
the designs TOR all three were Furnished
by an American firm, and that nothing
foreign in armament or design will en-
ter into their construction. One war
ship will be built at Philadelphia, an
other at Newport News and a third at
San Francisco. thus furnishing the
European shipbulding nations with an
object lesson concerning our wide re-
sources in this direction.
Although the ships will be built in
yards far distant from each other, tn,
Cramps plans will be followed in the
building Of all three OF the armor-
clads. The nd type ships will be 3sS
feet long. as against 1858 feet in the
Alabama, the lengthening having bean
decided upon in response to the popn-
lar demand for faster war ships. By
increasing the length Of the vessels
amidships l6 feet and increas sing the
displacement to 1880 tons, or 1000
tons more than that of the Indiana and
Oregon, enough space is provided for
additional boilers and machinery to
furnish a continuous speed of IS knots.
The satisfactory feature Of this
change of design is the fact that the
increased speed, is not secured by any
sacrifice OF gun powder, which was
shown in the battle at Santiago to be
the chief characteristic of the Ameri-
can fighting ship. The armament will
be up to the highest American stan
dards in effectiveness while maintain
ing the speed that is one of the condi-
tons of construction in nearly all the
European armor- clads that are being
built The new ships under construc-
ton, together with the naval pro-
gramme already mapped out for the
Goth Congress. not only promise vast
sea power for this country bat viii!
ultimately develop great shipyards on
our coasts. while insuring our national
peace and security.
