$4,000 TON WARSHIP

WASHINGTON. Feb. e4.-An 10000 tor
battleship mounting fifteen is inch guns
having n speed of % knots and costing
S50.000.000. would be the largest war
craft which the United States could en-
ploy, according to a report to Congress
response to a request for specifications OF
the biggest fighting craft that could use

bors. The report says such n vessel
would have a length Of s75 feet, beam
Of los feet, her main arInor 16 inches
thick, n secondary battery of twenty-one
inch guns. four 81 inch torpedo tubes
and 1900 mile radius Of action.
"a single such vessel, however" II
adds, "would not be of great value 10 the
United States navy, as 1t would not be
suited to act in unison with the other
major units of our fleet. To develop the
value of such n vessel 1t would be neces.
sary to lay down not less than five"
The European war. the report says
has as yet brought no conclusive answer
to the question Of what types are most
desirable and the General Board is not
prepared to recommend so radical a de.
parture as the $4,000 ton ship would
represent. The $25.Oo0.0O0 battleships
asked for in the pending naval bill rep.
resent the greatest increase in size and

port says.
The report explains how the size OF
battleship construction is limited as fol-

The locks Of the Panama Canal, which
have a length OF 1000 feet. n breadth OF

AS regards depths. however, 1t has ap-
peared inadvisable to contemplate the

therefore been adopted on recommends
