Again the “Biggest” Battle
ship of U. S. to be Launched
(Special to the Banner.)
Washington, D. C. Oct. 25.—The
United States battleship New York is
to be launched at the Brooklyn navy
yard next week, and President Taft,
Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Gover
nor Dix, Mayor Gaynor and many
other notables are expected to be on
hand to watch the most powerful ves
sel in the United States navy take
her first plunge into the water.
The New York and her sister ship,
th© Texas, are each 2,000 tons heavier
than any other warship that has ever
been launched in this country. The
New York is 6,175 tons heavier than
the battleship Florida, the last war
ship constructed at the Brooklyn navy
yard and which was the biggest ship
of its class afloat at the time of her
completion only two years ago.
The battleship New York was au
thorized by Congress in 1910. At first
bids were asked for, but later these
were rejected and it was decided to
build the vessel In the government
yard at Brooklyn.
The keel was laid on September 11,
1911, and a board hoisted near the
site where the ship grew says: “U. S.
S. New York, Battoship No.34, Length,
573 feet, breadth 95 feet 2£j inches;
displacement 27.00G tons; mean
draught, 28 feet 6 inches.” Since then
the huge vessel has grcqvn steadily
and when she takes the water she will
be nearly 70 per cent completed. Ear
ly next fall she is to be completed and
ready to take her place as one of the
five units In the first division of the
Atantic Fleet, of which she will pro
bably be the flagship.
Not only In size but In the calibre
of the guns at their main '.atteries
were the New York and Texas de
signed to be the most formidable bat
tleships ever built- Up to the present
time the 13-inch gun, which has not
been used on any of the newer ships
of the navy, has been the limit in
calibre of naval guns. The New York
and Texas, however, will each carry
ten 14-lnch guns, mounted two to a
turret, and so arranged that all of
them can be fired in a broadside, or
forward, or aft, at the same time.
The arrangement of three turrets
aft and two forward of the bridge is
the work of the Naval Construction
Corps of the United States navy.
Great Britain has followed this de
sign in her new dreadnaughts, and
this is considered one of the highest
complements ever paid American de
signers and constructors.
The New York’s engines will be of
28,000 horse-power, 3,000 more than
those of the Florida. If the expecta
tions of her designers are fulfilled she
will be able to maintain a speed of 21
knots an hour or better. The engines
are triple expansion, four cylinder re
ciprocating engines.
The armor of the new battleship
will be of sufficient thickness for de
fense against torpedo boat attacks,
and there'Will he strong bulkheads
as an additional protection against
mines and torpedo explosions.
The New York and the Texas will
be of the same type as the dread
noughts Oklahoma and Nevada, which
have been authorized by Congress.
The two last-named, however, will be
abodt ten feet longer and of 500 tons
greater displacement than the New
York and Texas.

The nany friends here of Mr. Cuth.
bert Barrow, a nephew of Chancellor
Barrow, will be glad to know that he

demonstration by a crazed man and
received a severe slash with an ugly
knife. For a few days it was thought
the injury might be very kerious.
