Brooklyn, N. Y, October 30.-The
new dreadnought New York which,
with the exception of her sister ship,
the Texas, launched last May, is the
largest battleship in the world, was
launched at the navy yard here to-
day. Miss Elsie F. Calder, daughter
of Congressman Calder of New York
acted as sponsor for the ship, and
the company witnessing the christen-
ing was brilliant one. The pres
ident was represented. In Governor
Dix's box were many high national
and state officials.
The New York's keel was laidfiin
September, 1911, and work has been
rushed in an effort to show navy
workmen are able to put a battle
ship together as quickly as men EN-.
ployed at private yards.
Boat Cost $1o,0o0,o00.
By the time she is completed the
New York will have cost $10,000,0OO.
Work on the ship was stopped a
while until Secretary of the Navy
Meyer could surely ascertain that the
$6,000,000 provided by the congress
of 1907 would be sufficient to cover
the expense. The length of the new
ship is 573 feet and she has a breadth
of 95 feet SIS inches. She has a
displacement of $4,000 tons and a
mean depth of % feet 6 inches. --
The machinery for, the new vessel
is practically complete. All of it has
been built at the local yard. When
the New York leaves the ways she
will have some of her machinery,
such as her boilers and condensers
1t will take less than year to COM
plete her after, she is in the water
Some Keen Rivalry.
The keen rivalry between the con-
struction department at the local
navy yard and the private shipbuild-
ing concern which has charge of tn
building of the Texas has spurred
the yard officials here to greater ef-
fort in order that the New York may
be finished ahead of her sister ship.
The work on the Texas was started
five months before the keel of the
New York was laid here, and already
the local constructors have picked
UP about three months of the lead.
One of the proudest boasts of the
yard officials here is that they have
made the large castings without los
ing one.
