Both flying boats and carrier

itself, as essential and integral a
part of it as is battleships or de-
stroyers. Let no one suppose that
aircraft and personnel not basically
naval in design and in training
could have accomplished such re-
suit. Such lessons of experience are
the best answers to those theorists
who would even yet seek to combine
all American aircraft and flying
personnel in separate air force,
removed from naval and Army COM

Japanese cruisers compelled a
Chinese force which included two
battleships to withdraw. Not so
much note was taken by the naval
world of what happened at Santiago
to Spanish armored cruisers faced by
we'll handled American battleships.
The armored cruiser grew and
grew, became the "battle-cruiser" OF
the early goth century; a mastodon
with a battleship's guns, with
destroyer's speed, but with armor
insufficient to protect her from
either a battleship or one OF her
own kind. From a battleshlp she
could only run away: duel with
one of her own kind was bound to
be a deadly gamble in which the
lives of a thousand men were flung
upon the board at the mercy OF
pure chance, as at Jutland.
Yet in the early days of the
armored cruiser craze Mahan had
pointed out the basic defects OF the
type. He wisely insisted that a de-
signer of naval craft must ask him
self, What Is this ship meant to
do? What is its principal job?" If
the answer is Fight in the line of
battle" then battery and armor
must come first, speed second. If
the answer is Scout, screen, raid,
protect and attack commerce" then
speed gets higher rating, but just
as obviously size must be limited
lest too many eggs be intrusted to
a vulnerable basket. In any war
ship, the upper limit of tonnage hav-
ing been decided upon land here
existing docks, channels, canal locks,
ETC., impose restrictions tonnage
must be allocated among the several
characteristics desired. Emphasis
must be given those most necessary
to the ships main mission, and
others must take secondary place.
Useful, but a Luxury.
This is not to say that the battle
cruiser, or armored cruiser, is use
less: it is to say that the idea Of
using such ships as fast battleships
is an error, that they are a pure
luxury, useful for cleaning up
enemy cruisers and raiders Gas with
Won Specs squadron at the Falk-
lands but expensive and on the
whole wasteful of resourse and ef-
fort, like most luxuries.
The gambling character of this
type in battle was emphasized in the
World War by the lucky hit on the
Lion, which enabled the whole Ger
man force Except one older and
slower ship to escape what seemed
certain destruction in the Dogger
Bank action 1t was tragically and
terribly emphasized again at Jut-
land, where the huge Queen Mary
and two smaller British battle
cruisers were lost, while Of the Ger
man battle cruisers, a little more
strongly built, only one Uutzow)
was sunk. Two others (Seydlitz and
Derfinger), though terribly bat
tered, managed to creep home to be
repaired and fight again. 1t is to
be noted that in this action no
battleship on either side (save one
very old German pre-dreadnaught)
was sunk.
The result of Jutland confirmed
American naval designers in their
traditional instance on protection
for battleships regardless Of speed.
Tn ron Seo,1ence Ue have TO-DAY the
slowest battle line in the world but
the most heavily protected. All ex-
perience proves this to be wisdom.
