BEGIN GREATEST OF
UNITED STATES BIG
FIGHTING MACHINES

New York, March 16.-The laying
of the keel of battleship No. SO, which
may eventually be named either the
North Carolina or the Arizona, at the
navy yard in Brooklyn today, marked
the formal beginning of the greatest
fighting machine in the United States
navy and the peer of any ever built or
projected by any power. With dis
placement of 1880 tons, she will be
slightly larger than her older sister,
the Pennsylvania and will be the 10th
vessel of the super Dreadnought class
to be added to the feet. Like the
Pennsylvania, she will carry three
14-inch rifles in each turret. mounting
Il of these guns altogether and will be
the second vessel to be so equipped.
Although the keel laying occurred
only today, work on the gigantic ribs
and plates has been going on for sew
eral months.
The super Drea drought New York,
which was built at the Brooklyn navy
yard, will leave the yard on her trials
in about two weeks.
