BATTLESH|P IOWA TO
Be TARGET FOR GUNS
Famous Vessel, Under Own Steam
and Controlled by Radio,
to be Battered.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening


Washington, July 26-The once famous
battlcship Iowa, which played no small
part in the destruction Of Cervcrn's fleet
at Santiago, is being prepared at the
Philadelphia navy yard for what naval
officers say will be one Of the most unique
target experiments ever attempted.
Proceeding UNNAMED, but under her
own steam and controlled by radio,
probably from seaplancs, the old sea-
fighter will become the objective OF the
big guns of the Atlantic fleet super
dreadnoughts in Chesapeake Bay late
this summer. This will be the first time
that American warships have used q
moving craft for n target except IN actual
war.
Two of the Iowa's coal burning boilers
are being converted to burn oil SO the
ship may continue under why with no
one aboard once her fires have been
started burning and her engines placed IN
motion.
IL is expected that the unique practice
will give the gunpointers Of the Atlantic
fleet an oportunity to test their ability
under conditions rs nearly like those to be
expected in battle rs can be obtained.
Smoke screens will DO thrown around the
Iowa during the runs and the course
will be changed at will through tho radio
control system, necessitating change
in range on all the firing ships, exactly as
would occur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped OF
some Of its guns and much valuable metal
and the practice will be continued until
the old vessel, mass of twisted metal
sinks beneath the waves to JOIN the old
Texas, which, as the San Marcios. WAS
used for stationary target years ago.
The battleship Ohio has been turned
over to the Bureau of Steam Engineering
for purposes of experiment in radio con-
troll and staff of expert technical officers
has been placed on board to arrange
the Iowa practice.
