Battleship
California
To Be Best
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.—Re
sides being an electrical marvel, the
new super-dreadnought California,
is to have her keel laid probably some
time this month, at Mare Island Na
vy yard, will be as near impregnable
to mine and torbedo attacks as it is
possible to make a modern warship.
The armor and other protection
against these weapons have been
worked out in the greatest detail and
embody many novel features that are
the result of the careful of naval en
gagements in the present Kuropean
war.
When the contract for Battleship
No. 44 was awarded to the Mare Isl
and navy yard, the name “California”
already had been given to Battleship
No. 40 under construction at the New
York navy yard. Inasmuch as No. 44
was to be the largest warship to be
built on the Pacific coast, the navy de
partment directed that the name of
the one to be built at Mare island
should be changed to California and
the one building in New York should
be named the New Mexico.
For some time before the plans for
the California were made by the navy
department experts satisfied them
selves by exhaustive tests that vessels
of the proposed construction could not
be sunk either by striking a mine or
torpedo attack. It is understood that
the construction of the bulkheads by
an improved method is mainly relied
upon to make the vessel impervious
to torpedo and mine destruction. They
are to be steel but will not be rigid
as is the case in other ships. Also re
sistance has been increased 25 to 30
per cent.
The main engines will be electric,
the electric generators being driven by
steam turbines of 28,000 h. p., the
steam supplied by oil-burning water
tube boilers. Not only the type of
machinery installation but its ar
rangement is said to be entirely dif
ferent from any ever adopted for any
previous warship.
She will he fitted with two cage
masts bearing fire control platforms
for controlling the fire of the guns,
similar to the familiar type designed
byAmerican constructors and now fit
ted on all battleships of the United
States navy. Another feature of her
appearance that immediately attracts
attention is the clipper type of bow,
instead of the convention ram.
The use of electricity throughout
the vessel will be most extended. In
addition to the main propelling en
gines of the shif), the handling of the
ammunition and firing of the guns
will be done hv electricity, boats will
hehoisted in and out, anchors raised,
the vessel steered, and ventilating
blowers Operated by electricity.
Other minor machines driven by
electricity will be potato peeling,
which is performed in a separate com
partment, the machine having a capa
city of 1,000 pounds per hour; ice
cream freezing, complete laundry in
stallation, printing machinery, food
and meat grinder, kitchen and cake
machine of 60-quart capacity, dough
mixer of two barrels per hour, and a
dish-washing machine that will han
die 1,000 dishes per hour.
The principal characteristics of the
California are as follows: *
Length over all .624 feet
Breadth .06 feet
Depth . 47 feet 2 inches
Mean draft.30 feet 3 inches
Displacement (this draft) 32,300 tons
Speed .21 knots (12 hours)
Fuel oil capacity (norma!) 1,000 tons
Armament.
Twelve 14 inch, 50-calibre, breech
loading rifles.
Four submerged torpedo tubes.
Twenty-two 5-inch rapid-fire guns.
Four 6-pounder guns for saluting.
Two 1-pounder guns for boats.
Four 3-inch anti-aircraft guns.
One 3-inch landing gun.
Two .30 caliber machine guns.
The 14-inch main battery guns are
of an exceptionally powerful type and
will be mounted in threes, in four cen
ter-line, heavily-armored turrets.
The complement of the vessel is 58
officers and 1,022 men. Every con
venience necessary for the health and
comfort of officers and crew has been
carefully thought out in this ship.
The name California previously was
borne by an armed cruiser of the Pa
cific fleet, rechristened the San Di \ ;o
when her former name was assigned
to the new battleship. The San Diego
is now the flagship of the Pacific fleet.
It is probable the California, when
placed in commission will take her
place.
