HEAVIEST NAVAL GUNS EVER DESIGNED
FOR Use ON TWO NEW BATTLESH|PS

| turret These weapons throw pro.
jectiles weighing 1,4O0 pounds as is
the case with the 14-inch guns de.
signed for the four Japanese battle
ships estimated for in 1914.
With the increase in size, the life
of the gun is shortened by erosion,
due to the heat generated by the ex-
plosion of the huge charge of powder
necessary to hurl nearly ton of
metal fifteen miles that is said to be
the range of the American l6-inch
weapon. The rifiing of the gun burns
out under the blast. Drops of melted
steel are visible in the bore after
each shot and II is said that the life
OF the Queen Elizabeth's 15-inch wea-
pons is less than 100 shots each.
After that the gun is so inaccurate
as to be virtually useless.
With any target in plain view, 1t is
said, the American gun has equal
range and nearly equal penetration,
the difference being more than coun-
terbalanced by the larger number of
guns carried Thus, in action against
such a ship as the Queen Elizabeth,
the Pennsylvania would have twelve
l4-inch guns against eight 15-inch and
would have so per cent greater op.
portunity for scoring hits. For indi.
rect fire. such as the work in which
the Queen Elizabeth shared in the
Dardanelles, the l5-inch guns greater
range would be important, but it is
not believed it would be factor in
a purely naval battle.
