VIGOROUSLY poor shot with six gun

barely heft gun without trouble,

the Spring of 1898 he was trans
ferred to the command of the North

In the past half century.
EIFrEEN years holiday in the
construction of battleships-occa-
stoned by the Washington and London
treaties-has failed to dull the enthu
siasm of naval authorities for this
type OF warship.
The Navy Department thus describes
the battleship:
The battleship today combines the
greatest concentration Of fighting
strength. that is, offensive power and
power of survival, in one hull. 1t is
the principal element-the backbone
of naval power. around which are
Rrrayed in their proper proportion all
the other elements of naval power to
support the battleships and to in
crease the ability to employ the bat
tleships under every circumstance
The fighting strength of battle
ship is a combination Of offensive
power and the power of survival.
The offensive power depends upon
the number and caliber of the guns
carried Battleships carry the heav-
lest guns that are mounted on any
type of ships. The heaviest gun car
ried by any battleship sfioat is Is
inches and on ships Of the maximum
permitted displacement it is not pos
nine such guns.
mo modern ship, other than a bat
tleship, mounts a gun larger than
eight inches"
Naval authorities calculate that if
an explosive capable Of destroying
1000 tons of ship structure hits
battleship, it would destroy only one
thirty-fifth Of the vessel, whereas It
would wipe out submarine or de-
Etroyer and cripple one-tenth Of a
cruiser
The battle of Jutland, fought dur
ing the World War in the North Sea
between the Germans and British, is
often quoted TO show just how much
punishment battleship can take and
still stay on top of the water. Au-
thorities say that the British battle
ship Warspite received 13 hits from
heavy projectiles, more than any other
battleship in the entire engagement
But repairs were completed within so
days. She is still in active service.
On the German side. the battleship
koenig received the greatest number
of hits-l0 directly, from large pro-
lectiles. But, say the officials, repairs
on her were completed in 81 days.
And, they add. mo other type could
have possibly survived such punish
ment"
The battleship, 10 use the jargon
Of the day, can take it" Out of the
battle Of Jutland, the greatest fleet
engagement Of modern times. have
come valuable lessons that are being
incorporated in the battleships OF
today.
