The torpedo boat destroyer, Fame, il
Illustrated above, is one of a group of
20 boats built by j. /. Thornycroft &
Co. for the British government. The
boat is 30 feet long and 20-foot in
beam. 1t is of 275 tons displacement.
The torpedo boat destroyer carries two
torpedo tubes and is armed with five
six-pound rapid-fire guns. On the trial
trip a speed of S012 and 81 knots was
shown for three consecutive hours con-
tinuous running. It is a twin-screw
boat, and the engines have 5000 indi-
Gated horsepower. The ocean grey
hounds OF the transportation companies
rarely exceed q knots. From the fact
that it was Mr.. Thornycroft who orig
mated the torpedo boat, it is interest
ing to know that this firm is foremost
now in the manufacture of these de-
stroyers. The function of the boat is
to Overtake and destroy the smaller
and slower torpedo boats. which are
entirely unarmored, with the guns. The
13-pound gun discharges a continuous
stream of l1z-inch projectiles. which
are heavy enough to seriously cripple
an ordinary gunboat, much more a tor
pedo boat. The destroyers are unar-
mored, relying upon their speed to get
away from the big vessels. There are
A of these boats building for the Brit
ish government, eight for Japan and a
number for Germany. The president
intends to buy a number for the United
States navy. They cost about $500, 900
apiece. They have a high freeboard
and are able to weather a heavy sea-
