MONITOR FLORIDA
STANDS TEST OF
REAL BATTLE
Heaviest Guns, Largest Pro-
jecti|es and Close Range

Little Damage Inside Turet-Bis Guns
Failed to Down New Fighting
Mast.

Old Point Comfort, Va. May 2s.-
The biggest naval gun, the heaviest
projectiles and the highest explosive
known, combined with close range
and deadly aim, were yesterday al
lowed TO work their full havoc on
the iurret plate of the monitor
Florida. The result is declared to be
a victory for turret construction and
this Notwithstanding the ll-inch
hardened steel plate was blackened,
broken, the seams of the turret
sprung and the rivets and screws
lo0sened and twisted
II was not five minutes after the
terrible impact that the finely bal
anced mechanism was being worked
with perfect ease and the Pinch
gun on the left side was trained at
Will. Inside the turret, where stand
the gunners and gun crew, the havoc
was much less apparent than from
the outside. Examination showed
that OF the many delicately adjusted
instruments for fire control. sighting
and operating the turret few, II any,
were out Of working order
IF this had happened In battle the
Florida would be fighting yet" said
one OF the rear admirals with en-.
thusiasm.
Then followed futile attempt to
destroy the newly designed fighting
mast erected on the stern OF the
Florida. After five shots from the
Arkansas guns had gone ripping
through IL, the mast still stood firm.
The shots would not bring II down,
and no enemy would waste ammuni-
ton and time shooting at 1t. was the
expert comment. II was predicted
that all new ships will be equipped
with battle masts of this design.
