NAVAL FI6BT EXPLAINED . * , • v ■■ ■ ' '* * 4—• SUPPLANT DREADNAUGHT rrgent Necessity of American Navy in for Adequate Numoer of These High Powered, Heavily Armored and Speedy Hounds of AVar- Ja{tnn Has Four In Pacific Ocean. ■Walter Scott Meriwether writes in "l New York World: A distinguished officer of tiie aerican navy was asked: “If by j exercise of some Aladdin magiG N u could Instantly add ten units to a navy, what type would you se- .art?” “Battle cruisers,’* was the reply. * If at this moment America had ten vessels of this type a war upon her by any of the great powers would be Improbable. With fifteen of the -type It would be Incredible; with twenty It would be Impossible; that is, It would bo Impossible, for any mari time power, for a preponderance of these heavily ai*med racers would ■weep an enemy's commerce from the ceas.” It must be admitted that no les- aon of the war in Europe stands out more conspicuously than does the proved merits of this new type—one that combines superior speed with enormous gun power. The value of this combination had been realised' abroad long before the war had proved in practice what theory had •aserted In vain It was shown In that smoke-blown day In the Bight of Heligoland when the Herman cruiser Bleucher al- K tedly the first to solidify the Idea In steel, it is a matter of reegr;! that plans for the same type of vessel had been drawn by our own progressive navy officers Immediately after San tiago and as a direct result of the lessons learned In that battle. These plans accumulated dust In the archives of the navy department. Anon the world was made aware that England was secretly and hur riedly building some great new en gine of naval warfare, llut so close ly guarded was the secret that none knew what the typ^ represented until the vessel was launched and christened “Dreadnafight.” Theta We Woke I'p. Then our own four-year-old plans for this identical type were hurried ly drawn from navy department archives and forthwith bids for the U. S. S. Feasible and U. S. S. Pos sible tfere advertised, these resulting In the dreadnaughts of the South Carolina anti Delaware iclass. The dreadnaught relegated the battleship to second place, but now It is the battle cruiser which has taken the centre of the marine stage. Speaking against preparedness. Representative Oscar Callaway ■ of Texas, In an address In Carnegie Hall, was credited with this extra ordinary statement: “We do not need battle cruisers in the navy of this country. Battle cruisers are the eyes of a fleet, and as our flee! will not do the hunt ing. but w ill' be bunted. It w on t need any eyes. The defense of the United States does not depend on the regular army and the navy, ns the officers of those services would have the people believe.’' Testifying before the House naval committee, one of the most distin guished officers of our navy, and who has the advantage of knowing though endowed with a speed far greater than that peweeaseJ by gMgi .direction. For If yqt» found different valuation upon the font-1 canpwl^^H tie cruiser. He is Capt. William 8. Sima, now commanding thw stiper- dreadnaught Nevada. There is no American armored vessel, still 'it high speed Insufficient for es- >«• from her swifted and more aerful foes.

The fact that Japan owns oar vessels of this type and that America owns none, may have no .portal significance to the lay mind. Bnt from the navy viewpoint it Is a matter of essence. List! Ja|Mili has Pacific Blocked. At Newport, U. I.. Is the naval war college, an institution where all problems relating tc naval warfare are threshed out by navy officers— a post-graduate course in strategy and tactics which has no equal in any other Institution in the world. An officer of high rank who had re cently taken the course told the writer this: “On my last tour of duty there I wag In the class concerned with Pacific waters—this study including the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam and e defense of the Pacific coast. An istern enemy makes a move and i try to meet or offset it by an- , her. But there Is no move now asihle on that Pacific coast board at Is not effectively blocked by ipah’n four battle cruisers of the ongo class. Move yotir pieces as JU will r these four queens arp there o check every move. We have tried t In every way—from every angle. And there - is no solution except that which lies In fortifying Guam and maintaining a superior squadron of battle cruisers in the Pacific. “With Guam fortified, six. battle cruisers in the Pacific, and with what we already have in the line of dread- naughts, battleships, submarines and destroyers, the chance of war with any Eastern foe would be rendered negligible. With a preponderance of battle cruiser strength in the Atlas tic and with what we own in other types, no European nation could af- flrd to declare war against this coun try- For Its commerce would be awept from the seas and any line of communication which It may bars established with an invading force wpald inevitably be broken, and the ftawaden, cut* off-from support and would la tarn bo crmhsd.” hors that all ro- owa lbs solas Of Oat aftbo Civil ot advantages. “In that situation all you have to do Is to'fire at the head of the fleet, and If you find you hit the water In advance, Just raise the gun slglrl* and fire Into the fleet. Moreover. If you miss one ship It will probably ricochet and hit the s^lps behind. That I sone of the greatest advan tages of the battle cruisers. They have the speed and power and have armor resistance, which Is very con siderable. to withstand the shots which may reach them. “Thrtr position across the head of a lolumn Is n<4 one of great danger to t>H*m. Inwause only one or two of the leading vessels can fire with their how guns, whereas they have sjiecd enough to turn their broadsides and let go sal vim, and then turn around the other way and give anothe. course keep ahead and keep from be ing hit. “That Is one of the great reasons why we want battle cruisers, which have the speed, and as much armor ed protection as she can carry con sistent with carrying a sufficient bat tery of guns. A battle cruiser car ries torpedoes also, as do all capital ships, and she can fire torpedoes down the bead of the column and support the destroyers while they are doing the same, and keep the enemy’s cruisers from Interfering with these operations, providing she is stronger than the enemy. That is one of the strongest arguments for battle cruisers.” Under ‘•Urosa-Exnrnlnation.'’ ivir. Callaway, wjto Is a member of the committee, Interrupted to say: “We have been told it was a waste of torpedoes to fire them across at a battleship line.” "I would like,” Capt. Sims re plied, “to have a few minutes’ con versation with the man who express ed, tliat opinion. It is absolutely un bound.” This Illuminating -testimony en sued: * Representative Roberts, another member of the committee, asked: "The comparatively light armor car ried by battle cruisers would not en able them to maintain their position ahead of the fleet, would it?” C£nL Sims: “Oh, yes; the speed is what keeps them there.” Mr. Roberts: “If the armor Is no factor in maintaining that position in battle, why have any armor?” Capt, Sims: “You need not have much for that particular function, but your biattla cruiser has to do many ‘otlier things.. Your battle cruisers have to fight other bat tle cruisers, and If the one has 1 armor and the other has not, she will have no chance on earth.* 4 / .. , Mr. Rbberts: “If.ton get more vpeed with your cruiser and have an equally powerful gun-— Capt. Sims (interrupting): “That speed will only put you on the bot tom of th« ocean sooner, because It will get you if against guns that “Hut if It comes to war,” he added, “vve do not Want to see any such exposition as was Inevi table in the manoeudre* of last 4 May, where the hyttot^ctical fleet came from the otlier side with, four battle cruisers, smashed our scouting line, drove it in on our main body, and had the vv'hole game In his hands from Hi at time on. “We want to be In.a position to resist that, sort of thing, and, If pos sible, to do that same sort of thing to the enemy. If we have on our side a preponderance of battle cruis ers we can drlv^JJhe, oraer fellow’s scouting force back oiT his main body, and. then he becomes suscep tible to that terrible business of a night attack by torpedo destroyers, and there is nothing in the world that: can stop them.” How it Worked Out. Asked to be more specific about the simulated attack upon the coast and in which he took part, Capt. Sims said: "There was a fleet supposed to be coming from ^he other side, one stronger than^ours, and with It a force of 100,000 men. The plan was to land these on our roast, .«nri in order to prevent that It was emrntinl that we attack the enemy on the seas and with a force inferior to his own. It Is possible to destroy a convoy of that kind, because it would require 200 or 250 ships to carry the troops and their equipment, and such a fleet would naturally cover an im mense area ot ocean. "In order to protect the transports It would be necessary for the enemy to dispose his forces around the en tire ere* and la such a way as to safeguard the transports against at- Nr screen and get In among, the transports It will need only one shot to sink any of them. “So our problem waa to find where British—Queen Mary, battle cruis er; speed 36.7 knots; main arma ment, 8 13-in: German—Seydlltz, battle cruiser; •peed 2D.0 knots; main armament, H-ln. ,. Japanese—Kongo, battle cruiser; speed 28.0 knots; main armament, 8 14-in. American—Wyoming, super-dread nought; speed 21.22 knots; main armament, 12 12-in. Our tentative navy programme contemplates, four battle cruisers and preliminary plans for the type have progressed far enough to indi-- cate that the new vessels may reach the length of 800 feet and may have • beam of 105 feet,, this great beam allowing only a five-foot margin for clearing the locks of ittie Panaml Canal. The necessity for this in crease in sie i,s -due to the need for engine and boiler room space. The engines probably will have horse-! power ranging anywhere from 150,-j 000 to 200,000, as compared with the 35,000 installed in our latest type of super-dreadnoughts. Aftgr -a vessel passes a speed of twenty-five knots an hour a rap^d increase in horse power is required for each additional knot. In charts showing the horse power at differ ent rates of speed the lide takes an almost perpendicular course after paslng the twenty-five knot mark.

Its Dominant Features. The distinguishing characteristic# of the battle cruiser are great hitting power at long. ranges, high speed, and armor which, althouh thinner than that carried by dreadnaughts, is probably adequate for the long ranges at which future naval battles will lie fought. Their great speed should also insure them against sub marine attack, for hitherto submer sions have not proved effective against fast ships. While the most ardent,qdvocates of the battle cruiser do not contend that the day of these dreadt ought has passed, nevertheless there is now a strong; sentiment favoring the sub stitution of batle cruisers for dread noughts in the new building pro-* gramme, this being based on the fact that while we have ten dread noughts in commission and four oth ers nearly ready for the pennants, and more than a score of older bat tleships, we have none of these sharp fanged greyhounds of the seas.
