SAN FRANCISCO, Calf,

claims the greatest attention. Back
in 1906, while this b~attleship was en-
gagged in target practice on Prov
incetown, Mass, an explosion in one
OF her super imposed turrets killed
the turret crew Of 20. and nearly
wrecked the ship.
Tho explosion WINS caused by q
blast Of wind forcing the hot gnses
in the bore OF the big guns after q
saivo. As tho brooches were swung
open after the discharge. the gases
were forced through the guns and
into the ammunition and shell piles
nearby, o~verheating and detonatins
them.
That disaster led to a change IN
turret construction IN the United
States navy and the introduction OF
the gas ~ejecter. which sends a swirl
OF air through the bore OF the gun
after n discharge. clearing out all
gases so that they cannot come out
through the breeeh opening.

history. She was flag ship OF tho

they were de-commlssioned several
months ago. with tho exception Of

down in 1904. All OF these older
boats saw service in tho World war.
