Performance of Dreadnaught.

But recently reports have reached the de-
partment touching the performance of the
great British battleship Dreadnaught that
have inclined the board to revise their
judgment in the case of turbines and it is
stated at the department to be entirely
probable that such engines will be proposed
in the plans for the great 5000 ton battle
ships, which has been submitted to con-
gross by it's direction at the next session.
Details of the construction of the Dread
Daught, guarded n state secret for two
years. are coming to light and they show
that the objection against the turbine on
the part of maneuvering capacity has been
overcome. This was accomplished by
equipping the big ships with four separate
propeller shafts and with two great
rudders, one behind the other giving great
power of steering Intimatons have been
received from some American ship builders
that with the experience gained in the
recent construction OF merchant ships and
yachts equipped with turbines the cost of
those engines can be considerably reduced.
