California Is Last Word in Superdreadnaught:
I *T» HE superdreadnaught California, launched the other day at Mare Islam
! 4 nav*v *vard> represents the last word in battleships. She is expected t<
| cost more than $15,000,000 and will carry 12 14-inch guns. Besides bein,
I electrically driven, the new warship
' will be electrically operated from her
I guns to her potato-peeling machine,
i In commission the California will
have a crew of 1,022 men and 58 offi
cers, full complement. She has a
length over all of 624 feet, a breadth
oi 96 feet and a depth of,47.2 feet. Her
displacement at her mean draught of
30.5 feet would be 32,000' tons. She
has an estimated speed of 21 knots
and a normal fuel capacity of 1,900
tons. It is estimated that she is fully
30 per cent better protected than any other vessel in the United States navy
not excluding the New Mexico.
Her great turbines are of 28,000 horsepower. The guns will be fired bj
electricity. Her ventilation, steering, supplying of power to the drive shaft
laundering, printing, ice cream freezing, cake making 'and dishwashing all
• will be electrically operated.
Although this has brought her total cost to something in excess of $15,
000,000, a saving in fuel is expected quickly to offset this cost. Her hull alom
cost $7,800,000.
In armament the California will rank high. Besides her 12 14-inch gun?
she will carry four submerged torpedo tubes, 25 two-inch rapid-fire guns, foui
six pounders, two one pounders, four-inch antiaircraft guns, one three-incli
