NAVAL BASE, SAN PEDRO, Calif., March 25.—The “commence Mring”’ pennant from the signel bridge of the superdreadnaught California was the herald today for the six most noisiest minutes in the naval history of the Pacific Ocean. The naval back- bone of the American Nation stood in battle line, 70 miles off the base here, for the major gunnery event of the year, force practice of the battle fleet. This practice simulates a naval en- gagement of six minutes on behalf an sotual naval battle. Each salvo of the 11 dreadnaughts represented the firlng of some 125 tons of steel projectiles. The great battle line staggered through the calm Pacific waters amid protective smoke screens at a speed of 19 knots, or more than 20% miles an hour. Stagger was the word, for a squadron of gray de- stroyers lnunched schools of tor- pedoes, with dummy heads, at the battle line, simulating the eremy, and causing the dreadnaughts to veer this way and that to avoid the one weapon that the dreadnaught fears most. The ton projectiles of the mighty 16-inch guns are sent 20 miles with a force that nc armor can withstand, and the turrets can hurl one every five seconds. Cartoonist Nears Recovery.
