into the composition of the ship will be
treated by a process which renders it abb
solutely non-combustible. The battle of
the Yalu ard the battle of Santiago both
proved the great danger of having wood
work about a fighting ship. Another
feature of the Maine will be her compare
lively shallow draug1lt, which will enable
her and her sister ships to manoeuvre in
waters where other ships of the same
fighting power would be aground This,
it will readily be seen, even by a layman,
might some time give the Maine a great
advantage over an antagonist in d fight.
Ii was originally intended to have the
armor plating OF the Maine of 161a-inch
Harves7ized steel. but then came along
the wonderful "kruppiZed" armor, and
after exhaustive tests this armor has
proved so good that the Maine will have
1G-inch plates of it put on her instead of
the l6l3-ipch Harveyized armor originally
planned for. This change will admit of
making the armor belt of the battleship
broader and of extending it further for
ward ard aft. The Maine will be espec-
tally well supplied with electrical appa-
ratus for lighting, etc. Her turrets will be
moved by electricity, and the arnmuni-
ton will be hoisted from below and
-ammed into the gun by electricity. The
new Maine will be 3GS feet on the water
line, q feet beam and will have draught
of a feet I inches when she has full sup
plies CT stores and ammunition and 1900
tons of coal on board. The new Maine
will at all times and in all places be able
to avenge the old Maine. and, with her
sister ships, will form an addition to the
navy of the United States which will do
much to place the navy in the front rank
where it belongs.
