modern than the first ships Of
that postwar class. With 200, 900
horsepower from her conven-
tional engines, the Constella-
tion will have a speed of over
80 knots. Her catapults can
put heavier planes into the air
than the equipment on other
ships of the class. Terrier sur
face-to-air missiles are used
for defense instead of anti
aircraft guns.
The first Constellation, built
in Baltimore in 1795 for use
against the Barbary pirates, is
still afioat although she went
out of Navy commission in
1855. Mr.. FRANKIE commented
that the old Constellation
served in every major war. In
World War I she was a receiv-

War II she served as a flag
ship for Admiral Ernest j.

CAB men reported finding
feathers and other bits of birds
on some of the parts Of the

One of the theories of the
cause of the crash is that the
plane few through a huge flock
of starlings. and that some Of
the birds were drawn into the
air scoop of the Jet type en-
gine. causing it to flame out
and stall.
