Defective stern posts must also be replaced in some of the vessels.

THEY JTROUBLES FAS AS YOU GET FARTHER AWAY 000-ton, eight-inch gunners, has seta/ mew and unexpected problem for) navy designers. ‘The ships, or some of them, roll in| ‘a beam sea in a jerky, disconcerting way. It is hard on everybody aboard. Still, the navy would not worry much about that. Its officers and men do not go to sea for pleasure. ‘That jarring roll, severe enough to have snapped a topmast overboard on one gale-beset cruise, upsets gun~ nery calculations a bit. Even that is not regarded as very serious by most navy officers, how- ever. There are intimations that one of these very ships has set a world’s record for target accuracy. High Speed Is Aim What does concern them is that the “sea-keeping qualities,” as the navy puts it, of the ships is impaired. ‘The strategic conception upon which they were planned and built calls for high speed for long distances, what- ever the wind and sea. And the erratic roll they have dis- closed might necessitate slowing them down under certain. conditions. Technically, the navy experts ex- plain the jerky roll by pointing to the low center of gravity. A ship built for speed means a long, thin craft Subject to roll anyhow. To give these slender fighting grey- hounds of the sea greater security in battle, the designers fixed the center of gravity unusually low. They made} them “stiff” ships in a seaway; just] @ bit too stiff, it now appears. And already the navy is at work to! render them more kindly craft, given! to slower, steadier motion. The American cruisers run from 200 to. 700 tons a ship under their al- Jowed maximum of 10,000 “Washitig- ton tons” of displacement. Were it not for this triumph in weight saving, no remedial measures to correct the rolling characteristics | of the American eight-inch gunners could be undertaken without sanction of every other signatory of the Wash- ington treaty, if any increase in weight was involved. Plans to Check Roll Immediate measures of gorrection| involve extending the length and width of the anti-rolling fins, known as bilge keels, with which most mod- ern vessels are equipped. These are steel fins that project diagonally out- ward, on the underwater bulge of the ull. They act automatically to check the roll, one holding back against the} water on the upthrust side as the other similarly checks the downthrust on the other, weight above the water line and raise the center of gravity. How that will be done, whether by increasing protection against gun fire and air bombs or by additional of- fensive installations, has not been disclosed.
