Super Dreadnaught Tennessee. Larg-
est and Most Formidable Battle
ship Afioat. Cost 20 Millions
--625 Feet Long.

New York. June 3.The super
dreadnaught Tennessee, the largest
and most formidable battleship afIoat,
goes into commission today at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Formal cere-
monies were set for $50 O'Clock this
afternoon. Constructed at a cost of
sec, 900 900, she represents the last
word in battIeship architecture. She
is 625 feet long. has a beam Of 81 feet.
and o displacement Of 3z.J9o tons.
She is the next thing to pleasure
yacht in the comfort OF her appoint
ments for officers and men; she IS
the first battleship to recruit her en-
tire personnel from the state from
which il takes its name, and she rep
resents advantages taken from lessons
learned In the battle on Jutland and
other important naval battles OF the
world war.
Fighting Brains"
A special feature, which distinguish
es the Tennessee from all other units
of the United States navy is the high
iy organized fighting brain" enclosed
in a steel fort near the top OF the for
ward mast. Here are concentrated
devices for observing enemy ships,
device not known In the battle OF
Jutland, enabling the crew to ascer-
tain quickly the position Of enemy
craft. Special devices are installed In
this turret which enable the crew to
quickly train the 14-inch guns on the
enemy before the crew of any other
battleship known could even sight the
Tennessee. This new device consists
OF three decks and their fighting com
plement is rs men.
Signalling Devices.
BY special signalling devices con-
nected throughout the ship, reports
from this fighting top can be flashed
instantly to all parts OF the ship, thus
insuring instant correction Of range
and rapid. fire. This fighting brain"
is equipped with mechanical devices
for range finding and other delicate
instruments never before used on
battleship.
Another important feature is the
construction of the Tennessee is her
electrical control of speed, enabling
her TO change quickly from her ca
paeity speed of q knots to an almost
imperceptible motion. This is consid-
cred an important point form the
standpoint OF maneuvering.

The season thruout the belt is from
