Be Sunk At Sea With Full Honors
When Scrapping Program Started

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-(By The
Associated Press.) = Suggestion that
one of the American battleships to be
scrapped under the naval program be
escorted to sea by the Atlantic fleet
and sunk with flags flying and full
naval honors, have been received with
approval by high naval officials.
While no definite plans for the scrap
ping of the ships will be undertaken,
at least until the treaty has been sign
ed, it was indicated such ceremony
probably would be included.
A veteran of the navy would be se-
lected, it was said, If the plan was
adopted. The oldest of the second-line
battleships is the Kentucky, first COM
missioned May Is, 1900, and which
went out Of commission May 29, 1920.

only veteran of actual battle in the
Spanish-American war in the battle
ship list.
s She has long been stricken from the
roll of active or second-line craft,
however, and is carried ON the unclas-
sified list along with such veterans as
the sailing frigates Constitution and
Constellation, and the old corvett
Hartford, once Admiral Farragut's
flagship. The old Iowa, built in 1898,
also is on this list and is a veteran of
the Spanish-American war, but is now
used as target ship under radio con-
troll.
1t would be the purpose to make
this ceremonial sinking as impressive
as possible. Probably, the ship would
be kept intact, painted and her brass
work shined. and put to sea on her
last trip under her own power. At the
selected point, she would be dressed
with signal flags and with her battle
emblems flying from her mast head,
her seacocks would be opened and as
she sank, the fleet would fire three
saivos and the national salute of 21
guns in honor OF the passing of a
loyal comrade.
