AS fighter the Maine was formid-
able ship. Her main battery consisted
of four 10-inch breech-loading rifles in
the two turrets and six 6-inch breech-
loading rifles. The secondary battery
consisted of four 57millimeter and four
47-millimeter rapid-fire guns, four At
millimetcr revolving cannon and four
Gatlings. There were also three tor
pedo tubes below water and four on
the berth deck. Two torpedo boats 61
feet long, drawing 21a feet, of IA %
tons displacement, were" part of the
equipment.
The turrets containing the 10-inch
guns were arranged en- echelon, SO that
all four could be trained directly ahead
or astern, with a range arc of 240 de-
grees. This arrangement of guns was
most effectual in the case of the Jap
anese feet at the battle of the Yalu
river. The 6-inch rifles were planned
to be worked by hand, and were pro-
tected by steel shields two inches
thick.
The weight of hroadside of the
Maine would have been 2.7O0 pounds,
exclusive of the secondary battery.
The Maine had eight steel horizontal
boilers, vertical inverted cylinder direct
acting triple expansion twin screw en-
gincs of 5000 indicated horse power.
She carried S22 tons of coal, with which
she could steam 2,77o knots at 14.s
knots an hour, or 1000 knots at 10
knots un hour. She has a double bot
tom and numerous watertight COM
partments.
The full complement Of men carried
by the Maine when she was put in
commission was BOG, besides the officers
and 40 marines.
The Maine. though of a type of con-
struction vastly improved upon,was one
of the best vessels of Americas new
navy. She cost, all told, $2,50o,000.
