These win be the first of great

maintain supply of coal in the canal
! zone for the geat number of vessels
expected TO pass through the Panama

In time of war all of these golfers
may be diverted to naval vessels:
hence they are so constructed as to |
admit of carrying a battery OF light
guns and to be generally serviceable |
for naval uses The ships will be 522

capable OF maintained sea speed of
IA knots
With a possible substitution of oil |
for coal as naval fuel these GOLFERS
may be turned into tank ships.
