TENNESSEE, THE LATEST
UGHT IN LINE Of A
TTLESH|P. LAUN CHED
FROM BROOKLYN YARDS

New York, June 3.--The superdread-
naught, Tennessee, the largest and
most formidable battleship afloat, goes
into commission today at the Brooklyn
navy yard Formal ceremonies were
set for 2:3O o'clock Constructed at
cost Of 500, 900 900, she represents
the last word in battleship architect
ure. She is 625 feet long, has q
beam 9S feet and a displacement Of
325o0 tons.
She is the next thing to q pleasure
yacht in the comfort of her appoint
meuts for officers and men, she is the
first battleship to recruit her entire
personnel from the state from which
1t takes its name, ana she represents
advantages taken from lessons learn
ed in the Battle OF Jutland and other
important naval battles Of the world
war.
A special feature, which distin-
guishes the Tennessee from all other
units Of the United States navy, is
the highly organized fighting brain
enclosed in q steel fort near the top
Of the forward mast. Here are con-
centrated devices for observing enemy
ships. device not known in the Bat
tie Of Jutland, enabling the crew to
ascertain accurately the position of
the enemy craft. Special devices are
installed in this turret which enable
the crew 10 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 has three decks and their fight
ing complement is 25 men.
BY special signaling devices con-
nec,ed 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 filled with mechanical de.
vices for range findings, and other
delicate instruments never used on
batIleship.
Another important feature In the
construction of the Tennessee Is her
electrical control of speed, enabling
her tc change quickly from her ca,
pacity speed Of 81 knots TO an al.
most imperceptible motion. This is
considered ar important point from
the standpoint Of maneuvering.
