The question Ii frequently asked. whether
because a better quality Of armor In used, loss
in weight will be needed Rear Admiral ON oil
states there will DO litao material difference. be-
cause II Is recognized that armorod vessels should
have tho best, that is, the greatest amount Of
protection which their displacement warrants
armorcd vessels Is allowed for the weight Of hull
aud machinery, for coal. for oqupago, for arma:
ment and ammunition, stores, SC, and for hull
and gun protection Tho latter is 25 per cent
in the new Maine class, that Is, IS per cent OF
~ 800 tons, OF about 8. 100 tons for protection;
and while this weight might DO considerably
reduced and still leave tho vessels relatively az
well protected their predecessors, having
ordinary nickel stool face hardened Armor, II
would not DO practicable 10 make an all around
deduction OF rs per cent in weight II would
only be practicable To reduce tho heavy plates
In thickness The thin plates, those Of about
SIX inches would not have sufficient mass 70
resist heavy impact
what Ia expected 70 DO gained by tho uso Of
Krupp armor'' Rear Admiral O'Noil declares,
as better protection tho same weight than 10
now allowed. and by a different distribution TO
cover a larger area OF the vessel by reducing
the thickness OF tho very heavy belt, diagonal,
barbctte and turret amor and APPLYING the weight
thus saved 10 hitherto unprotected portions OF
the vessel. and by thickcning up those parts
which from necessity have heretofore been COM
paratively lightly protected, namely the case
mates and supcrstructuro In which the rapid
firing guns arc placed.
