| forty-four- centimetre gun, maze ny
the Krupps, costs 5000 per shot: inc
orty-four-centimeter is said 10 DE Ine
biggest Krupp gun built. The esti-
mate of $1,000 per shot was made by
English experts. No accurate figures
regarding the cost OF gun fire are oD-
tanable. The Iron Duke carries ten
13-inch guns. Accepting the Engnsn
| figures for the orty-four-centimetre
Krupp, the cost of firing each or the
ten big guns of the Iron Duke would
mean approximately $1,000 each, OF
total of $4,000 per broadside. Inc
Iron Duke also carries twelve 6-lhcn
guns, two 3-inch and four 3-pounders,
as we'll as four torpedo tubes. ANY
| estimate of the cost of firing eacn OF
these weapons would be mere conJec-
ture, as the English war office alone
could give the approximate cost.
