BATTLESHIP ARIZONA TO
BE LAUNCHED JUNE l9

The 39th batleship built for the
American navy since 1912 will take
the water June 10, when the SUPER
dreadnaught Arizona slips from the
ways of the New York navy yard.
Compared to the first American bat
tleship, the Indiana, launched in 1893,
the Arizona will be nearly twice as
long, half again as wide and Of three
times as great displacement. Against
the Indiana's four 13-inch guns and
eight 8-inch guns, the Arizona will
carry twelve 14-inch and twenty-five
5-inch rifles, the same armament rs
her sister ship, the Pennsylvania, re-
Gently launched at Newport News.
The Arizona's guns have range,
even at low elevation Of American
navy mountings, Of fifteen miles or
more against eight or nine miles for
the old thirteens. Immediately upon
thlaunching of the Arizona the keel
of the navy departments greatest
experiment in naval construction, the
electrically driven superdreadnaught
California, will be laid at the New
York yard. She will be nearly .
thousand tons heavier than the Ari-
zona, although carrying the same
equipment and arrangement Of guns;
but is expected to develop greater
speed than the 21 knots desired OF the
Arizona. She will carry only 915 men
as against he 1,012 needed to handle
smaller ships. This is due to the
Improvement in mechanical appliances
for batleships, and also to the fact
that oil has been substituted for coal
as fuel. When the Arizona goes into
commission her cost to the country
will have reached the huge total of
s16 900, 900 or more.
