? t MIGHTY ARMADA TO BE ASSEMBLED IN PACIFIC IN 192 ? Greatest Concentration of Se Power in History of Navy Giants . Will Be There Washington, Aug. 6.?The greal est concentration of sea power i * the history of the American nav will result from the junction of th reorganized Atlantic and Pacifi v fleets off the Pacific coast nex January under plans now being pre - pared by naval operations. Th great naval spectacle probably wil be staged in the vicinity of th Gulf of Panama. Officials of the Navy Departmen say the proposed mobilization wi] in no sense result in "grand" ma neuvers.

The exercises and drills 1 I will be simple and mainly of a competitive nature, including unofficial a athletic competitions between representatives of the two fleets and of inlivilual ships. The main object of ^ the mobilization will be to give officers and men an opportunity to compare notes and meet for a few * weeks of good-natured rivalry. e j Admiral Henry B.

During the war the shortage in ^ost types of small vessels, notably J destroyers and submarines, was overcome, but the entire fleet was i .never mobilized, due to the use of practically all light craft in the war zone, the detail of cruisers to escort I (duty and the fact that a consideration portion of the battleship force j-was on duty abroad much of the time. The January maneuvers will set a inew mark in American naval progress. For the first time in the history of the new navy the battleship fleet will be supported by a reasonably adequate number of destroyers and other light craft. Submarines will be available in abundance, together with sufficient naval aircraft for all tactical purposes and a fully rounded out fleet of auxiliary vessels. The total number of vessels beparticipate will depend on the pro- j gress of recruiting, as many ships are in reserve now for lack of crews, but it is probable that Ad miral Wilson will command at least 300 vessels of all types. The most modern of dreatfnaughts to participate in the maneuvers will je the. great Tennessee. The last ' vorl in naval construction, this! I *reat floating fortress displaces j 52,000 tons, carries 12 fourteen . nch guns and is propelled by elec;ric turbines. The Tennessee is atached to the Atlantic fleet. A sister j ship, the California, probably will lot be completed in time to join \dmiral Rodman's force before the naneuvers. ? ; Eighteen single calibre gun ships classed as dreadnaughts will >e available for the January maneuvers that were not completed in .910. They have a combined dis>lacement of 445,000 tons and a :ombined gun power of 112 fourteen inch guns, 80 twelves, 226 five nch anl 28 three inch.

This year Ad- j nirals Wilson and Rodman com- j nanl destroyer forces aggregating nore than 200 vessels, with overj LOO more in reserve or under con- j _ >truction. In 1910 16 submarines | vere carried on the active list of | ;he navy. This year nearly 100 of j" ;he submersibles are attached to the ;wo fleets, with about 75 more un- _ ler consruction. The cruiser strength of the navy tias shown little change in the past ten years. In 1910 the backbone of the cruiser force was the "big eight" armored cruisers, now re-1 duced to six by the loss of the San Diego and the Memphis. No light cruisers of importance -have been launched in the last decade. One of the most striking increases in American naval strength in the past ten years has been in auxiliary vessels. Both the Atlantic and, Pacific Fleets now hive well or-; ganized and complete "trains" of hospital ships, supply boats, repair vessels, refrigerating ships, ammunition and fuel ships, in addition tc motor patrol vessels, submarine chasers, mine sweepers and mine layers, converted yachts, submarine and destroyer tenders and troop transports, practically unireamed of a decade ago.
