According to the Philadelphia Press, the
proposal to build warship to be called the
American boy, the money to be expended in
the project to be raised by popular subscrip-
tion among the boys in the various cities of
the United States, has proceeded so far that
the money is not only largely on hand, but
the plans for the battleship have been drawn
up and are now in the hands of the navy de-
partment officials for approval. But, besides
the sentimental interest which naturally at
tacbes to the craze through the manner of
its presentation to the United States navy,
the plans are worthy of special attntion be-
cause OF the fact that they provide for the
largest battleship, bar none, in the world.
The length of the American Boy, ac-
ccrding to the plans, is 1000 feet, or nearly
three times the length of the Illinois or
Ken5uciiy. Its breadth is about one-fifth of
its length, or 207 feet inches Its displace-
ment is S4.4lO tons, while its propelling force
is supplied by eight turbine screws, expected
to develop speed of 10 knots an hour.
The American Boy is a double turreted
sea going battleship of the first class Her
