WORK IS RESUMED
ON PLANE CARRIER
U. S. S. Saratoga Will Be Added
to Navy, but Not as First
Class Cruiser
CONGRESS SUPPLIES CASH

Work on the U. s. s. Saratoga,
formerly destined as battle cruiser
and then ordered converted into the
latest type airplane carrier, has been
resumed following orders from Wash
ington.
Until few days ago the Saratoga lay
untouched in its huge way at the Cam.
den plant of the New York Snipbuildns
Company since orders were received last
February to pile it with its sister ship.
the L. s. s. Lexington, on the interna- :
tional naval scrap hemp.
Following the Conference on the Linn
itation of Armament, the Saratoga,
with five similar ships originally In
tended for the first line of battle. were
ordered scrapped Then the plan was
. changed to include the conversion o,
the Saratoga and the Lexington into
nirplanc carriers.
On June the Saratoga was 35.A
rcr cent completed. while the Lexing.
Ton. under construction ut Fore River
Mass. was 1913 per cent completed
The conversion process for both vessels
will involve radical changes.
Instead OF the giant turrets OF the
fighting craft. the upper decks OF the
converted boats will present the barren
plane of an aviation landing field. with
all the latest apparatus to facilitate
landing and taking of.
There will be storage space on the
lower and middle decks for large mum
bers Of naval planes and cranes anC
elevators to take them to and from the
landing stage.
Detailed plans Of the contemplated
conversion have not as yet been re-
ceived from the Navy Department by
Captain II. G. Roberts in charge of
construction, and 20 far only the bare
framework below decks has been com
plcted. The keel was laid on September
20. 1920.
The bulging sides Of the Saratoga
mount upward to the water in a huge
curve designed to afford the greatest
protection against torpcdoes. Huge
tunnels will point toward the rear
along the sides so that the least possible
obstruction to the landing plane will
be offered by the vessels smooth upper
surface.
With it's sister ships, the Saratoga

has n beam of 100 feet. In the place
| Of turret holes and gun spaces the
space below decks will be turned into
/ storage compartments for individual
planes.
Ineormation from Washington in L.
dicntes that there will be no rush with
| the renewed construction as all the
J later improvements for the airplane
carrier will be installed as perfected.
! Congress has appropriated sufficient
money to keep the work going forward
at moderate speed.
