PLANS Of MONSTER
SENT TO CONGRESS
BY NAVY SECRETARY

Plans OF the Navy Department for
Americas new monster battleship.
which We're submitted to Congress to-
day, call for main battery Of ten 12-
inch guns, a displacement OF 2O.OOO
tons, a speed of p knots, and a
length Of $40 feet, water line, as dis
closed in The Times some two weeks
ago. These plans call for a heavier
displacement armament. and speed
than any other American warship, and
IS expected TO prove as formidable
weapon OF warfare as any battleship
ahoat or under construction IN any
navy Of the world.
With particular reference to the often
sive qualities Of the proposed design, It
may be noted that the arrangement OF
the main battery guns Is such as TO
permit a brOadslde fire 25 per cent
greater than that Of the brOadside IRE
of any battle ship now built or. so
far as is known under construction, and
the average elevation Of the axes Of
these guns agove the water line is be
lieved to be greater than that Of any
known battleship, thus affording a dis
tinct advantage in long range firing un-
der all conditions OF weather.
With respect 10 the defensive quail

such as 20 give the maximum degree
of protection 10 all vital portions by
