THEE initial ,i trial trip of the battle battle
ship Kentucky, which is sched
uled for Tuesday, will be an OBJ
ject of general interest. The Kentucky
is sister ship to the kearsarge which
developed a speed of seventeen and a
quarter knots. The Kentucky Is ex-
pected to do fully as well and possibly
better The two are exact duplicates
and are the only battleships afloat that
have superimposed turrets, about the
practicability of which there is much
contention among naval experts. The
displacement of each is 1,525 tons, The
guaranteed horsepower 10000, and the
cost in the contract $3,15O,000 The
main battery will consist of four 13-
inch and four S-inch breech-loading
rifles: and the secondary battery of
fourteen 5-inch rifles, twenty 6-pound-
ers, and six 1-pounders, all rapid-firc
guns, and four Gatlings and one field
gun. The main battery, though the
strongest and probably most effective
in the American navy, is not so pow
erful as the main batteries of the prin-
cipal battleships Of the British navy,
but none of England's ships have as
strong or as complete a secondary bat
terry as the Kentucky
