TO THE DELAWARE
Manager Of Newport News
Company Declares Battle
Ship OutrankS the
North Dakota
QUOTES FIGURES TO
PROVE HIS CONTENTION

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Nov. i7.-That
tho giant battleship Delaware. now re-
ceiving her nnishIns touches at the local
shipyards, has the greatest steaming ra-
dius Of any battleshlp in the world and
is capable OF developing more than twen-
ty-two nautical miles an hour, was tho
statement made by Walter A. Post. gem
eral manager Of the Newport News ship
building and Dry Dock Company, when
shown dispatch from Quincy. Mass.
saying the "battleship North Dakota
fastest of the United states Navy, has
demonstrated that she is IN class by
herself. as regards steaming radius"
Figures giving out by Mr. Post, deduced
from records of the official trial runs Of
the Delaware, show that the Delaware
surpasses her sister ship In every depart
ment So far as steaming radius is con-
cerned, the North Dakota is declared
hardly IN a class with the Delaware.
AT twelve knots speed, It is asserted. the
steaming radius OF the Delaware is $500
nautical miles. against 5000 for the North
Dakota at the same rate OF speed. When
stoamlng at nineteen nautical miles an
hour the Delaware can run 5,400 miles
without replenishing her bunkers with
coal, whereas. tho North Dakota can run
only 1900 miles. and the steaming radius
OF the Delaware at q Ia knots is S,17O
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 Delaware
developed a speed Of I.56 nautical miles
an hour. with only 2S6oo horse power
while the North Dakota made 2i.6i knott
with Si5Oo horse power
'The Delaware can easily be driven tC
a speed above twenty-five knots by ad'
mitting live steam into the intermediate
and lower pressure cylinders" declared
Mr.. Post This was not done on the Of
dcial trial because the test was as much
one OF economy as for speed. The Della
wares 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 de-
velop. This accounts for the difference
IN the horse power developed by the two
ships"
The speed Mr.. Post says the Delaware is
capable OF attaining is greater than that
OF any armored cruiser in the Upited
states Navy and means that the Della
ware, when pushed TO the limit can de-
velop higher speed than any batteshiT
IN the world.
The Delaware Is TO be turned over 10 th'
Navy Department about January 1, sever
and half months ahead OF the contrac
time.

The canal locks. entered at Della

welcome were hung to the trees.
At the luncheon Mr.. Moore spoke
Of the history Of the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal II had been fin
ished, he said. In 1929, and had been
improved but little since. II meant a
saving Of 1876 miles in the journey
from Philadelphia TO Baltimore and
was Of inestimable value financially
but had. until the recent survey ap-
preparation, been sacrificed to make
way for improvements Of less import
ant Western waterways.
Congressman w w. Cook. Of New
York. declared that in recent trip on
the Mississippi River he had seen but
three freight steamers and so Govern
meut vessels improving the channel
He regarded the deduction as obvious
He claimed that II was high time for
the East TO rise and claim its own.
During the course Of the luncheon

White on behalf of the Hotel Mems
