planned to build the vessel from the
laying Of the keel plates to the hoist
ing OF the pennant in period of six
teen months. Thirty to tairty-six
months is the average time at pres.

ships now afloat, and her striking
power at such range as that at

great as any three battiesnips OF the
ordinary type. The displacement will
be about $4,000 tons. The Dread
