PAINTING a Rattleship,


One hundred tons OF paint, costing
approximately $4,000, represents the
initial color requirements for a new
battleship. The annual upkeep cost
may exceed this sum, since 1t is the
custom to repaint the different parts
of modern war vessel every three to
six months This would indicate an
annual paint protection outlay Of near
" 81, 600 900 for the navy II to this
sum is added the cost of painting the
thousands of lake boats, freighters,
river steamers and pleasure craft some
conception may be had Of the impor-
lance of marine painting.
Among the most important naval
paints are those which are applied to
protect the submerged parts OF the
bulls from corrosion or fouling by bar
nacles. The word barnacle is the pop
ular name for that form Of marine
crustacea which consists OF a clam
like body lodged in shell that is often
formed in series of rings or plates.
They adhere with great tenacity.
Without anti-fouling paints the speed
of vessels would be greatly retarded
by the piling up of a thick tncrustation
OF barnacles and attached sea grass
