Description of the Armament.

Save the Indiana class, they will carry
the heaviest batteries in accord with
modern naval practice, and, with primary
batteries fully equal to that class. they
will mount secondary guns in such FASH
ION as TO make the combination almost
unequaled in naval architecture. The
big rifles, four in number, are 10 be

placed so as to command the set from
either bow or straight astern. They are
thirteen inch caliber. yet the British
navy confines its guns to the twelve-inch
caliber. In inches the difference seems
small, yet the American gun has about
p per cent more power.
AT this point in the armament of the
ships the American designers have en-
barked in n bold and enterprising expert
ment. the result of which will be awaited
with interest by the whole marine world.
Instead of descending at one move from
the heavy primary battery to the small
caliber rapid-fre guns, as is done in the
case of cruisers, il has become the GUS
tom of naval architects to interpose a
battery of medium caliber guns. six or
eight Inches. for instance. and these are

about the ship. It occurred to the Amer
lean designers that if they could dispense
with the weighty and space-consuming
machinery attached to these turrets. such
as the turning engine and machinery. in
dependent ammunition hoist shields, and
the like. that much more engine power
could be placed In the hull of the ship and
that much more armor could be carried.
Reconsideration k,f
They solved the problem by rigidly
attaching the smaller turrets, each con-
tanning two S-inch guns, to the top of
the big 13-inch turrets. The plan has
another advantage than weight-saving

because they are trained in unison. their
projectiles must strike close together.
With the saving in weight the design
