been overcome, although there was adj
mittedly much TO be said concerning the
principle of putting three guns instead OF
two out of commission whenever turret
was successfully attacked. There viii be
no increase in speed, although much AMI
mated discussion attached itself TO that
particular characteristic. The experts re-
gard twenty-one knots as sufficient for
battleship operation. The English have
returned TO that speed, with an abandon
ment of the battle cruiser, of which so
much was heard in other years.
After a careful consideration of all the
d tails of battleship construction, it is op-
served that the only material change
which is made in the new battleship de-
signs, as compared with that Of the Penn
sylvania. is in the distribution and thick
ness of the armor. An increase in that
direction may have some influence on the
amount Of coal carried. but this is onset
by the increased radius which is possible
from the use Of oil in place of coal
The engines will be CT the turbine type
as in the case of the Pennsylvania. There
would probably be no change in the
armor If IT were not fo- the fact that
torpedoes under water and bombs over
head constitute a new and unknown
menace.
