Power of 12-inch Gun.
When the big 12-ineh guns are placed |
at Fort Upton, Pearl Harbor channel,
and the guns are discharged and the
explosion is heard in town, some idea
may be gained of their tremendous
power. Each time a gun is fred it
will send forth a shot weighing $50
pounds and costing 1910. Each shot
requires $50 pounds of powder. max
ing total cost of 500. When
about 100 shots have been fred through
these enormous steel tubes the guns are
about ready for retirement. This
means about $3.50 to be charged to
deterioration on gun that costs about
500, 900, every time it is fred

vocating the 14-ineh gun, and it seems
but the question of little time until
we shall have battleship mounting a
battery of such guns. During the
Spanish-American war the 13-inch gun
was tried out, and today we have 80
of them on some of the earlier battle
ships. But Immediately afterward
there was return to the 12-inch type

inches, but it is probable that America

make the 14-inch gun desirable for the
new battleships. American gunners
! are the best in the world, and the
greater the fighting range the greater
their advantage over the enemy. The
other reason is that the life of IA
inch gun would be proportionately
longer than that of 12inch one. The
erosion caused by the virtual melting
out of the bore by fervent heat, would
be lessened, and at the same time the
effective range of the gun increased.
/ The approximate. increase in every
item would be in the neighborhood of
| one third On this basis a 14-ineh gun
would literally eat into the pockets Of
!. the taxpayers. One of these guns
would cost $s7, 900, and whole battery
over a million dollars. Each shell would
weigh about HOO pounds, and cost
over $500. 1t would require $50
pounds of powder, making total cost
of a single shot well on to 800. One
of these shells would pierce nearly FIVE
feet of wrought iron. 1t would gener-
ate force beyond ordinary compre-
hension. The Masonic Temple in Chi
cago, until recently the largest office
building in the world, weights $4,000
tons. The force that gets behind A.
inch shell and drives it out on its death
dealing mission would be great enough
to lift the Masonic Temple two feet in
single second. The force behind a
single S-gun broadside from 14-inch
guns would raise that building Is feet
in a single second.
