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.’'

committee, one of the most distin
guished officers of our navy, and
who has the advantage of knowing

greater than that peweeaseJ by gMgi .direction. For If yqt»

Sima, now commanding thw stiper-
dreadnaught Nevada. There is no
American armored vessel, still

It was again made clear by the

en the 17-knot German Dresden

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-

ipah’n four battle cruisers of the

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

“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

American—Wyoming, super-dread

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.
