Amored Decks Will
Protect Warship Of
Future From Shells

London. April 8.-Battleships as
we have known them hitherto will be
changed vitality in the next decade,
when the technical lessons of the
war come to be worked out by our
naval constructors,
The sensational break with the
past that was marked by the intro
duction of the dreadnought will, !
think, be repeated in our forthcom-
ing building programs. The dread
nought idea is bare dozen years
old. but the dreadnought- idea over
looked one of the consequences OF
itself, and it is quite as true to say
that the changes that will now have
to be introduced into naval architec-
ture are as much due to big guns as
to the submarine.
The l5-inch guns Of the Queen
Elizabeth are wonderful pieces, but
they are not the last word in artl-
lery Every gunnery expert Will tell
you that the day is at hand when we
shall talk Familiarity of much. larger
guns, and shall no longer be aston
ished to hear of heavy shells being
flung Is miles through the air to
fall at last with perpendicular drop
or top of the target
That is one of the things that IS
going to make us alter the design OF
our ships. 1t is obviously useless to
put l2-inch armor on the side OF the
ship if the enemy's shells drop on
vorr deck. 1t is the deck that will
Lave to be armored over the whole
700 or 800 feet of its length, or only
over the vital points below, which
are the engines and the magazines,
remains to be decided. But we have
seen the last of the heavy armor belt
Git is II inches thick in the Iron
Duke class) and are coming to the
day of what | may call the armored
roof,
This is a much bigger change than
it may appear to be to the non
technical mind,
Then, too, there is the question OF
protection against mines and torpe-
does, 1t is a fact that very few big
modern warships were sunk by tor
pedoes during the war, and the At
dacious is the only ship of dread
nought type that the British navy
lost by the underwater explosion,
but it is certain that. our new ships
will have some form of blister on
their hulls to absorb the shock OF
an explosion, and also that they will
be more subdivided into water
tight compartments. This was done
in the German ships because, as one
German officer said after the sur
render, the ships were only built to
fight in, and not to live in.
We have heard during the past
four years of seaplane carriers
special ships designed to take aerial
scouts to sea with the feet, The
battleship of the future will carry
its own aeroplanes. Already many
ships are fitted for this purpose, A
short launching platform is built on
top of the gun turrets fore and att,
and swings round with the turret,
so that the machine can always fly
off into the wind to get the max
imum amount of resistance and en-
able it to keep in the air after it has
finished the very brief run along
the platform and starts the flight.
