should be of temporary rather than permanent

BATTLEsHIP PLANS CHANGED.
THE CONSTRUCTION BOARD DECIDES
AGAINST SHEATHING AND DOU-
BILE TURRETS

Washington. Jan. IS (speciaD.-The Naval Con-
structiOn Board decided to-day that no armored
vessels should be sheahed and requested the Secre
tary Of the Navy apply to Congress for q modll-
cation Of the law authorizing the three batteships
and three armored cruisers now under design SO
that the plank and copper sheathing could be
omitted. The Board took the ground that while
sheathing had advantages for small vessels under
5000 tons displacement in enabling them TO stay
longer away from docks and maintain their speed
the process was inadvsable for heavy fighting
ships It was contended by all the members OF the
Board. except the Chief Constructor. that sheath
ing made a considerable increase Of the cost; that
the construction was difficult. and American ship
builders had TO experience with it. that ii greatly
increased the difficulty expense Of repairs after
accidents: that there was dangerous liability 70
injure the steel hull If the work was not properly
performed; that the additional displacement ana
weight might prohrably be given TO coal
aruor and ammunition, and that It practically
impossible fas-en the sheathiEg to the hard raced
armor belt which frequently extends several IeeL
below the water line.
The Board also decided to-day not 70 insist on
the use OF double deck turrets. like those OF the
