BATTERIES AND SHIP ARMOR
DISCUSSED BY THE NAVAL BOARD
OF CONSTRUCTION.
Efforts to Determine Upon a General
POIiey-No Decision Yet
Reached.

The naval board of construction Is dis
GUESSING the subject of batteries and armor
for warships The question Is being
considered on broad lines, not so much as
applying to particular ships. but for the
purpose of determining upon a general pol
icy to the size and weight Of guns, the
maximum firing capacity of batteries and
the arrangement of guns in turrets, broad
side. etc. No decision has yet been reached
although some general tendencies in the
board are being disclosed.
1t seems to be certain that the superposed
turret will be Endorsed by majority of
the board. There has been considerable
difference of opinion in high naval circles
over this plan of turret upon a turret.
and. although the indications are that a
ma jority of the board will indorse the sys-
tenn of double turrets yet it will be adopt
ed for the new ships only after an earnest
protest on the part of the more conserva-
tive naval officers. who find their hands
materially strengthened by the experience
the Navy Department is now having with
the battle ship kearsarge An injury sus-
tanned by one of the guns in the lower
turret has laid the ship up for repairs for
two months, the long time being occupied
III the removal of the guns in the upper
turret and the upper turret itself weigh
ing about eighty tons, In order to reach
the injured gun. The size of broadsde
guns is also being discussed at length.
The view prevails that If the guns were
enlarged from the present six-inch type to
seven or eight inches it would necessitate
a much bigger ship to sustain them. The
suggestion has been made that we were ap-
proXimating toward an 1900 ton ship,
which is the outside limit so far reached
by European builders. whereas 15.Oy4 tons
is the limit of our ships, those of the Penn
Sylvania class being about that figure.
Some of the members of the board believe
that the limit of size and efficiency in our
Warships has been reached. and that it
will he best to proceed on the lines of the
latest ships constructed. instead of making
any marked departures.
Naval Constructor S. c. Capps of the
Brooklyn navy yard has formulated plan
whereby the damaged thrteen-inch gun
can be taken from the turret beneath the
superpoSed turret on the battle ship Kear-
sarge and be replaced with a new gun of
the same size without the costly necessity
of removing the upper trrret of the vessel.
Mr.. capps plan Is TO remove the arnlor
plate on one side of the vessel, making a
hole through which the damaged gun can
De slid and a new one put in place. The
original plan OF removing the upper turret
would have cost not less than S-,a.iHD, while
Constructor Capps plan will cost less than
sloHp. The new plan will take not more
than months time. whereas the old one
would have consumed fully three months.
