AMERICA HAS j
LARGEST SHIPS
Describing the two new American
battleships, the most powerful and
fastest In the world, Popular Mechan
ics for February says:
"While the "Delaware" is equipped 1
with reciprocating engines, the "North
Dakota" has turbines, which accord
ing to many of the officers, makes her
the better ship of the two.
"In the first place, there is claimed
to be absolutely no vibration of the
fire-control mast when the vessel is
equipped with turbines, while all re
ciprocating engines, in the past at
least have greatly lessened the value
of these mast because of excessive
vibration.
"Another Interesting feature of the
two ships is the fact that they use
oil fuel in conjunction with the coal.
Oil is sprayed into the furnaces
over the coal under high pressure.
; The average horsepower developed
: by the "North Dakota" in her five |
! trial runs was 33.675 while the "Del- i
aware" developed 2S.*i"S hp."
