Washington. May 0.-The construction
bureau of the navy is willing TO undertake
TO build the leviathan 2OOO0-ton battle
ship provided for in the pending Naval
Appropriation bill and, on the basis OF
the experience acquired in the con-
struction of the battlcship Connecticut
at the New York navy yard, the con-
structoH feel sure that they can execute
this task with reasonable dispatch and
at a minimum OiCost. A careful estimate
limits the time allowed for construction
Go AS months and the cost 20 $40 900 600.
The New York navy yard is found to he
the only place available and suitable for
this work, having the necessary slip room
and the machine plant and cranes re-
quired for economical ship work on the
large scale involved in tho building OF
such ship
1t Is pointed out that. after all, tho
new ship will not be very much larger
than some of those now nhoat or author
zod or building for the American Navy.
The Connecticut is of 1906 tons dis
placement, and the South Carolina and
| Michigan. bids for the construction OF
which are to be opened June 2d, Will
come within less than 1000 tons OF the
measure of the large ship. In TACT, tho
! difference In size would not be particu-
/ larlv noticeable to a landsman, consist
ing, as Il will, in slightly fuller lines and
breadth Of bull.
The principal factor in fixing the time
of construction is the procurement OF the
necessary structural steel. II Is said az
the Navy Department that In launching
the Dreadnaught In four months after
the keel blocks were laid down the British
shipwnghts really were guilty Of jockey
ing In some degree. For long time m
advance materials were being gathered
at the docllyard, and at the word It be-
came only a task Of throwing this stock
together rapidly. In fact, the ahip was
q mere shell when launched, pnd many
months time viii be required TO COM
plete her. If the American steel makers
are willing to do their share In supplying
the necessary material, the naval construc-
tons believe that they can build the new
American 20O0O-ton ship in about the
same time that will be required to turn
out a battleship Of the New Hampshire
class, namely, in four years. They are
by no means clear that Congress viii re-
auire them TO undertake this work, but
they point out that even in the absence
of specific instruction the usual form oi
naval bid provides that the department
may undertake the work of construction
If the private bids are not reasonable.
