HUNT WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—‘‘A navy second to none.” That was the goal announced by Secretary of Navy Daniels five lyears ago in discussing the desired future strength of Amer- | ica on the seas. Today, according to the French naval authority D’Arthaud, writing in “La Vie Maritime et Fluviale,” that accomplish- ment is in sight if a navy’s strength, as is generally accepted, is measured by the tonnage, speed and gun power of her cap- ital ships. Uncle Sam will have, in 1923, the fastest and most powerful fighting fleet afloat, surpassing both in speed and gunpower the capital fleet of Great Britain, ANSWER CREATES EX! |IN BRITISH NAVAL CIRCLES | Sir Kinlock Cooke and Col. F. Hall, both members of the Mouse of Com- | mons, desiring to know the relative power of the American and English | navies, recently questioned Mr. Long, first lord of the admiralty, on this | matter. The answer, which created considerable excitement in British naval circles, was as follows: Battleships which will be ready tn 1923: 18tnch Guns America... Engtand. .... England... America. .. Ships having a speed of 33% knots or more: Battleships America. .... England America. Engiand....... In 1914, tm vessels of the dreafinought type, the United States had just) 10 ships, with « total displacement of 271,600 tone and & maximum speed | of 21 knota The heaviest armament was of 12inch guns, except on two ships of the New York type which carried l¢inch guns. The displacement of Gdpital ships by 1923, however, will be 1,150,600 tons or five times the total in 1914. And of this tonnage, 16 ships, with an Aggregate displacement of 650,600 tons and a minimum speed of 21 knots. | will carry a total of 152 16-inch guns— most powerful shooting irons afloat 16-INCH GUNS ON TWO SHIPS MAY BE REPLACED BY 18-INCH ‘There is some question of replacing the 16-tnch guns on two of the 33%-knot battle cruisers with 18-Inch guns. As this would increase the weight of guns, turrets and firing equipment by 15 per cent, thereby necessitating an increase in displacement, reduction in the number of guns or decrease in speed, {t is improbable this change will be made. The lineup, then, of capital ships, and the rapid increase in size, speed | and gunpowes, is shown as follows: Capital Ships in 1914: Displacement Speed 16,000 tona 18.5 knots 20,000 tons 21 knots 21,800 tons 20,75 knots 2 Arkansas 26,000 tons 20.5. knote 12 12-inch 2 New York .900 tons 2) knots 10 i¢inch Nine other dreadnoughts were betne completed or were put on the | stocks during the first years of the war. The Tennensee, the last of | this series, has recently been completed.' These ships are: Type Displacement Speed 2 Nevada 27,500 tons 20.5 knots 2 Pennsylvania 31,400 ton» 21 knots 3 New Mexico 32,000 tons 21 knots 12 14-inch 2 Tennessee 32,300 tons 21 knots 12 14-inch Following Dantets’ declaration for “the most powerful navy afloat” and “a navy second to none,” the secretary in 1916 caused the naval board to| draw up an extensive plan of naval development. This program: waa | adopted by congress when, following the battle of Jutland, it appeared | that the European war might end without the crushing of Germany's naval power and while the threats made by the kalser to Ambassador Gerard were still fresh in congress’ mind. . TEN CAPITAL SHIPS OF THE DREADNOUGHT TYPE AUTHORIZED As a result of this program 10 capital ships of the dreadnought type | were authorized and six battle cruisers of a faster, more powerful type |than any nation had undertaken. ‘These ships will all be completed, under present schedule, by 1923, and will add to the above capital vesnels: Type Displacement Speed 4 Maryland 32,600 tone 21 knots 6 Maseachuestta 42,200 tons 28 knots 12 14.1nch 6 United States 43,500 tons 23.5-knots 8 16-inch To these capital ships will be added, before 1923, 10 modern light cruisers | of 7,100 tons each, equipped with major batteries of 6 6-inch guns and hav ing a speed of 35 knots. In units of smaller tonnage Engiand will lead the United States, as she will also in numbers but not in speed in the cruiser cine. England probably will outrank us also in destroyers and submarines. Of the former we have 69 of the old pre-war type and 260 built during the war These are mostly of 1,200 tons, carry four Ginch guns and 12 21-inch tor. pedo launching tubes. Uncle Sam's strength in submarines is somewhat) | shrouded in secrecy, but may properly be estimated at about 150 or 160. | Perhaps the most significant fact in the development of the American | |navy, according to D'Arthaud, aside from the rapidity with which it haa| | forged ahead of the English navy in fast, heavily.armed battleships, in the | general tendency in America to increase the caliber of our heavy guns. | The naval board gives as reasons for this increase the fact that with | | the increase in caliber the trajectory becomes flatter and that in the Jut- | land battle it was shown that the destructive action of a heavier projectile! was much greater in practice than had been calculated, | EROSION IS DIMINISHED, | PROLONGING LIFE OF GUN | ‘The initial speed of the profectile in guns of larger calibre is reduced | only to a slight degree, but sufficiently to diminish erosion and deterioration | | of the bore of the gun, the life of the latter being thereby prolonged. |. ‘The question un btedly will be raised, now that Uncle Sam is taking the lead over En id in heavy fighting units, whether or not we are; centering our strength on a type of vessel that is becoming obsolete. England doubtiess will point to the fact that she has abandoned the building of capital ships, of the dreadnought and battle cruiser type, and in| centering her future program on the development of more heavily ane cruisers. A sinter ship to the “super-dreadnought™ battle cruiser Hood was stopped | in course of construction, as a result of what British naval experts believed to be the lesson of the battle of Jutiand. | American naval authorities, however, after the most careful study of | | the Jutland affray, were convinced that the heavily armed, speedy capital ship remains thekeystone and chief strength of any navy. Many changes in detail of armoring, arming, etc, were adopted, which are being carried out on ships now, building, but the basic theory of the relative values of ; fighting types wl unchanged. i | The strength of a navy, they maintain, must be measured firet by the| speed, armor and gunpower of its capital ships. a 1¢tmch Gans Light Cruisers Heavy Gune 4 12-4neh 10 12-inch 10 12-tnch Type 2 Michigan 2 Delaware 2 Florida Heavy Guns 10 14-inch 12 144nch Heavy Guns § 16-inch DR.
