greater than that OF any armored
cruiser in the United States navy and
means that the Delaware, when push
ed to the limit. can develop higher
speed than any battleship in the
world That the vessel has a greater
steaming radius than any other bat
tleship is shown by the figures given
above.
The figures of the trial OF the Dese-
ware show that during the four hours
the ship was running at the maximum
speed OF 2156 knots the propelling en-
gines and auxiliaries used only 1917
pounds OF water in the shape OF steam
as against 1896 pounds for the
North Dakota during her high
speed run. During the twelve knot
run for twenty-four hours the Della
ware used only 2ll pounds as against
22.3 pounds for the North Dakota. The
actual amount during the run oftwenty-
four hours at nineteen knots was
1897 pounds saving OF more than
seven per cent. against a saving OF
only FIVE per cent. In the case OF the
North Dakota
Deliver Ship January I.
The Delaware is to be turned over
to the navy department about January
1. seven and a half months ahead OF
the contract time. The ship was
launched only nine months ago and
her keel was laid just two years ago
last Wednesday.
This is a remarkable record in war;
ship construction in the United States
and equals the best records of the
British and other foreign yards.

CAN DEVELOP HIGHER
SPEED THAN A CRUISER
BY Admitting steam to Low and In
sermediate Cylinders, Delaware Is
Capable Of Making More Than ~
Knots an Hour--oreater Cruising
Radius Than Any Battieship.

That the giant battleship Delaware
new receiving her finishing, touches al
the local shipyard. has the greatest
Streaming radius of any battleship In
The world and Is capable OF develop
ing more than % knots an hour-a
knot more than the contract speed
was the statement made yesterday by
General Manager Walter A. Post. OF
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company, when shown u
dispatch from Quincy. Mass. which
vas printed In a recent issue OF the
New york Herald. and which says
that the "battleship North Dakota,
fastest of the United States navy.
has demonstrated that she is in a
class By herself as regards steaming
radius
Figures given out yesterday by Mr.
Post and which were deduced nom
records CT the official trial runs OF the
Delaware, show that the local buiit
ship SURPRISES her Fore River built
sistership, the North Dakota. In every
department SO far as steaming
radius is concerned. the North Dakota
is hardly in a class with the Della
ware.
Great Steaminq Radius.
At twelve knots speed. the steam
ing radius Of the Delaware is $500
nautical miles as against 5000 for the
North Dakota at the same rate OF
speed. Steaming at nineteen
knots an hour. the Delaware can run
400 nautical miles without replen-
ishing her hunkers with coal, whereas
the North Dakota can run only 1000
miles. and the steamig radius of the
Delaware at 2lil kots hour Is BIO
nautical miles as against 5000 for the
North Dakota at the same rate OF
speed.
On her official four hours run last
month under forced draft. the Della
ware developed speed OF 2l.56 knots
an hour with only 2s.600 horsepower.
whereas the North Dakota made only
2i.64 kncts with 34.500 horsepower.
.sThe Delaware can easily be driven
to speed above 22 knots by admit
ting live steam into the intermediate
and lever pressure cylinders" de-
clared MIR. Post. This was not done
on the official trial. because the test
was as much one OF economy as for
speed. The Delaware's engines could
not use all of the steam developed
By the boilers and there was much
wasted energy by the popping or OF
the safety valves during the trial. On
the other hand, the turbine engines
OF the North Dakota used every pound
OF steam the boilers of the ship
could develop. This accounts for the
difference in the horsepower develop
ed by the two ships"

Delaware is capable of attaining is

The old Board OF County Commission
