Plan for Biggest Warship.
Plans for the two twenty-six- Thousand
ton battleships will be completed and
placed before the Secretary of the Navy
for his approval before the end Of the
present fiscal year. 1t is expected that
there will be no delay in beginning the
construction of these leviathans of the
sea. Although exceeding by almost one
third the size Of the battleships formerly
constructed, the new vessels will have
speed of 2Oa4 knots, so that they will be
fully qualified to maintain the speed of
other vessels composing the great bat
tleship fleet. Officers are watching the
progress of these plans with great inter
est. 1t is not believed that the increase
in size will give rise to any serious prob
lens of construction not encountered in
the building of the twenty thousand ton
battleships.
