OIL Burning SHIP
FOR ER.I'SA NLn
QUEEN ELIZABETH, LAUNCHED
At PORTSMOUTH, OF NOVEL
CONSTRUCTION.
INCREASE IN OFFENSIVE
AND DEFENSIVE ARMAMENT
Substitution Of Oil Tanks for Coal
Bunkers Means Great Economy in
Weight and Spaos-Deersass in Dis
placement Makes Much Greater
Armament Possible.

Portsmouth, England, Oct. 1e.-An-
other novelty in battleships. the Queen
Elizabeth, which carries an Immense
armament and uses oil instead Of coal
for her power. was launched here to-
day.
The ship, whose keel was laid on
Oct. 81. 1912. Is an entirely new type.
Details of her construction have been
kept secret.
1t Is generally believed. however,
that her armament is to consist of ten
fifteen-inch guns mounted in pairs IN
bargettes, while her secondary arma-
ment of four inch or six-inch guns is
also to be placed behind protective
armor.
Under ordinary circumstances the
carrying Of such a big battery would
imply considerable increase i'm, dis
placement but this has been obviated
by the utilization Of oil fuel in the
place Of coal.
May Revoiutionixe Naval Construction.
The substitution OF oil tanks for coal
bunkers means great economy In
weight and space and In this way 1t
has been possible to increase the Of
fensive and defensive armament and at
the same time keep the size and dis
placement of the ship within limits.
Should oil prove successful all large
warships Of the British navy will In the
future use 1t.
The new vessel was not quite a year
on the building ways and will be ready
for service in less than two years from
the time her first keel plate was laid.
Far more work was done on her before
launching than Is usually the case In
battleships. With the launching weight
OF 10000 tons she was the heaviest
vessel ever sent afioat from the slip
lin any British naval dock yards.
