The Wisconsin is distinguished from
the other battleships by the entire
absence of eight-inch guns. In this
respect, and in the arrangement OF
her tunnels abreast, she follows the
type of vessel which England has
built for the past ten years. In place
of eight-inch guns and the battery of
five-inch rapid fire guns seen on the
Kentucky, she carries a battery OF
fourteen six-inch rapid fire guns.
The chief argument for the adoption
of the gun calibres to which England
has so persistently adhered, was
found in the battle of Yalu. 1t was
the japanese quick firing guns, sweep
ing the unprotected portions of the
Chinese ironclads. that drove their
crews from their guns and won The
battle. Hence, it was argued that
strong battery of six-inch rapid fire
guns was more essential than the
more powerful but slower eight-inch,
and this distinctive gun was for the
time abandoned.
A far-sighted designer might have
seen that the Wisconsin carried her
own refutation of the argument. The
six-inch rapid firers were for the de-
struction of the enemys quick firers.
