mounted on superdreadnought
which has been ordered by the Navy
department. and will be laid down In
the Japanese naval yard at Kure.
This will be the largest battleship in
the Japanese navy. She will be
called the Nagato.
The warship will have displace-
ment of $4,000 tons and speed OF
"A knots. The displacement exceeds
by 400 tons that of the dreadnought
ysmashiro. which was launched at
yOkosuka last November The Yam
ashro is about the same size an tha
raited States superdreadnought Penn

II the announced figures prove
exact the Nagato will be bigger than
the celebrated Queen Elizabeth OF
the British navy, more speedy than
the Yamashiro by two knots and
faster than the Pennsylvania by three
knots. although she could be out
distanced by the Queen Elizabeth. A
feature of the proposed ship will be
improved equipment for defense
against torpedoes.
The question of main armament
seems not yet decided. 1t is under
