BIGGEST YET.
Largest British Batt|eship
Successfully Launched.
ST. Vincent, Eighth Of Dread
naught Type, Takes Water.
Laid Down Last December...i950
Tons...cost ss,500,000.

Portsmouth, Sept. 10.--The ST. Vim
cent, the largest and heaviest battle
ship ever built for the British navy,
was launched successfully here today
The weather was fine and the sea
smooth and a great crowd saw the
vessel take the water. She was christ
cned by the Countess Beaucharlp.
Counting the three cruising battle
ships of the Invincible class, the St
Vincent is the eighth vessel of the
Dreadnought type to be launched in
this country. The admiralty has OBJ
served it's usual reticence with regard
20 the details of the design and eon-
StructiOn of the st. Vincent, but from
certain figures that were given out it
is manifest that the experience gained
from the construction of the Dread
nought has been utilized in this YES
sci.
1t is believed that some of the adj
ditional weight of the st. Vincent is
to be accounted for by heavier arnla-
ment for protection against tOrpeuoes
and improvements, giving greater Sc
curity to those controlling the move
Elents of the ship while in action.
A number of foreign naval attaches
including lieutenant Commander John
H. Gibbons, the American attache. at
tended the launching on the invitation
Of the admiralty.
The St Vincent was laid down in De
cember of last year. She is supposed t.
be of about 1920 tons and her cost
has been given at $9,500000.
