N A doxzen Shinto priests, in white robes and carrying branches of the sacred *sakaki” tree, emblem of sacramental purity, recently per- formed the simple purification rites accompanying the laying of her keel, designed to ward off evil in- fluences and beseech the blessing and protection of the national gods for this instrument of empire. ‘These rites of an ancient cult @eem a little out of harmony with the modernity of the Maya and her sisters, but they help ensure the Numan morale that must make| these machines effective. The Nachi, whose details are to be followed in all her sisters, has| a speed of 38 knots, a designed horsepower of 130,000 and carries 10 eight-inch guns. She is hone\'edi to embody many new features of eaval design, but these are a well guarded secret. The glimpse ob- tained of her at the Yokohama na- | vai review showed long, low lines érawn for speed. She carries a fighting top more like that of a bat- tleship than of a light cruiser; tur- tets for her eight-inch guns :thow fore and aft; her whole aspect is formidable. 8he has a crew of 700 men. The Nachi is to be joined in com- mission within a few weeks by her next sister, the Myoko, now under- Eoinggher trials off the Yokosuka naval base, where she was built. The Haguro and Ashigara, . from the private dockyards of Mitsubi- shi at Nagasaki and Wawasak! at Kobe, respectively, were launched labt spring and ghould reach com- pletion about the end of 1929. Next come the Atago and Takao, still on the ways at the naval arsenals of Kure and Yokosuka and due for launching this year. The Chokai was laid down at Nagasaki last April and now the Kawasaki bulld- ers have the Maya in hand. On the best authority it is learn. ed that this eight-eruiser program is the only éne now contemplated by the navy department. It still has three years to ‘run, as it will not be completed until early in 1932. At the time the American house of representatives passed the 15-cruiser bill a year ago, Admiral Keisuke Okala, minister of the mavy, sald Papan had no intention of framing & “reply” program. The budget for 1929-30 contains ne ap- propriations for any naval construe- except the program already in 4. “The official Japaness position e that the Nachi clagg are merely re- Placements for old &rilsers now be- coming obsolete and are necessary to maintain the balance of the navy 43 an {instrument of imperial de: fense. This will give Japan in 1933 a navy of six superdreadnaughts, four battle cruisers, 39 cruisers, in- cluding 123 first class (more than 7,000 tons) and 17 second class (un- der 7,000 tons), 54 first class de- stroyers, 40 second class destroyers and 68 submarines. This does not include ships which will have be- come obsolete by 1532. The Nachi and her sister ships are costing each about $15,000,000. | A noteworthy feature of these ves- | sels, as of the new cruisers of all the naval powers, is the tremen- dous horsepower. The Nachi's 130,- | 000 horsepower is greater than, that | of any battleship afloat, and only | four naval craft in the world, all of special designs, exceed {it—the American alrcraft carriers Lexing- ton and Saratoga, 180,000; the Bril- ish battlecruiser Hood, 144,000, and | the Japanese aircraft carrier Aka- &, 131,700, To compare with the Nach class | the United States has the new 10,- | €00 ton cruisers Pensacola and sultl Take City, with a designed horse- | power of 107,500, speed of 32.5 to 38 knots and a main armament of 10 eight-inch guns.
