Latest Battleship to Have
!} Every Modern Convenience
! VALLEJO. *Cal.—When the 58
officers ar.d 1022 men to be as
i signed to the battleship California
now in process of construction at
the Mare Island navy yard near
jhere. take up their quarters on the
latest and most formidable of the
nation's fighting craft of her class,
they will find every modern con
venience provided for their safety
|and comfort.
; While every known protection
; will be provided against mine and
submarine attack, and naval offi
jcers consider the California will
[be as nearly impregnable against
1 destruction as it is possible to build
a ship, the creature comforts of
| the men will include a dental office,
barber shop and a score of con
ceniences usually associated with
hotels. An electric potato peeler
which can handle 1000 potatoes an
hour, electric cake machine with
60 quart capacity and a dish wash
ing machine which will handle 1000
fishes an hour will be among the
! conveniences which will both speed
up and lighten the work. i
Electricity will play an important >
part on the great battleship for'
i its use will be extensive. The
1 main engines of the vessel will be
; electric, the electric generators
driven by steam turbines of 28,000
horsepower, the steam supplied bv
oil burning water tube boilers.
Electricity will handle the ammu-:
nition. fire the guns, raise and '
lower boats and anchors, steer the!
ship and regulate the ventilating;
blowers.
Work on the dreadnaughts was
practically suspended during the
war in order that right of way;
might be given to vessels more1
needed and at Mare Island this re- j
suited in a concentration on de- ]
strover building and the conversion ;
and repair of _naval vessels for!
war purposes.
Since the signing of the armis- i
I tice the work on the California
has been resumed. Her cost when
the award was made to Mare Island
three years ago was placed at
S7.413.516.
Her dimensions are: Length over
all, 624 feet; breadth. 96ft; depth.
47 ft. 2 inches; mean draft, 30 ft.
3 inches: displacement at this draft,
32,300 tons; speed 21 knots for
12 hours; fuel capacity (normal)
1,900 tons. Her armament will
consist of twelve 14-inch, 50 cali
ber. breech-loading rifles; four sub
merged torpedo tubes, twenty-two
5-inch rapid fire guns; four six
pounder guns for saluting; two one
ponuder guns for boats; four 3
inch anti-aircraft guns; one 3-inch
landing gun and two .30 caliber
guns. The 14-inch main battery
guns are of exceptionally powerful
type and will be mounted in threes
in four centerline, heavily armored
turrets.
The California is built with a
clipper type of bow instead of
the usual ram. She will be fitted
with two cage masts bearing fire
control platforms for controlling
the firing of the guns. She will
carry high power motor boats of
the hydroplane type. A complete
carpenter and machine shop, with
each machine independently elec
trically driven, will be provided.
When the keel of the vessel was
laid the first rivet was driven by
an honorary riveting gang, headed
by Senator James D. Phelan as
rivet tester.
The launching of the California,
the first dreadnaught ever built in
a navy yard on the Pacific coast,
will be made a gala event. Al
ready Mare Island has orders to
build another super-areadnaught,
and as soon as the California leaves
the ways they will be widened so
as to accommodate the even larger
vessel which is to be constructed.
Later a slip for the construction
of battle cruisers will be built. j
BIG CROWDS
ATTEND BASEBALL
—
SAN* FRANCISCO. — The out
standing feature of the Pacific
j Coast baseball league season thus
far has been the remarkable at
tendance as shown by official rec
ords. In this the Coast league has
set a mark at which the major
organizations can shoot. It has not
been infrequent to find weekday
crowds that compared favorable
with the Sunday and holiday crowd?
of war days.
In ratio of population, the at
tendance figures show that Sacra
mento has been one of the best
cities on the circuit with tespect to
the crowds which have attended
the games. San Francisco’s official
figures also show an encouraging,
increase in number-, and the same
conditions obtain in practically ev
ery city on the circuit.
It has been remarked, both by
the crowds and the sporting writ
ers, that the increased interest in
the games has infected the players
as well as the spectators. A snap
and vim is being shown by the
players which was lacking last sea
son, and this is ascribed largely to
the influence of the large crowds.
Accounts of the games show that
a large proportion of them have
been good, lively contests.
