Vlooent The itwataaswiscait of the BeUerophon. the ship which is now completing at Portsmouth, will be 18,600 tons, so that there has been an addition of 660 tons here, while the advance made upon toe 1 7, wou tons displacement of the Dreed isramtil a 1.160 tana. At the same Urn St. Vincent is ten feet longer, and has two feet more beam than bet predecessors. No official information is available at to It may be that, as has ne quarters, the mam of the St.

Vincent class will consist of longer and heavier lZin. guns than Loose mounted in the Dreadnought and in her three successors of the Belieropbon type. It is believed that the normal coal stowage and. in its main features, the armoured protection are identical in all the ships, and it has also been conjectured that the additional weight will be partly aoootxatea tor by a heavier anti torpedo mem and by some improvements having for their 111 pose the greater security in action those controlling the movements of tho vessel and the fire of Iter guns. The St.

moral was laid down on Decem ber Sa I 07. Her construction np to the date of launch will have occupied, therefore, eight calendar months and 11 days, which is about the same rate at which tho Bellerophon was built, when tho additional wekrht of material Imtrt into the St. Vincent is considered. The Hellerophon was laid down on December 3, It, and launched on July 27. 1907.

making sev en calendar months and 24 days. Both these vessel were built during the usual dockyard working hours, whereas the Dreadnought, which was laid down on October 2, 1905, and launched on February 10, 1300, the work being on during day and night, was launched in four months and eight days. The advantage gained by pushing on the Dreadnought is not only to be measured by the value of the experience gained by having her speedily in the water, and the impression created abroad, but it should be of a considerable value, if, in time of emergency, necessity should arise for increasing in the shortest possible time the strength of the Fleet. That which was done in the case of the Dreadnought could unquestionably be repeated, and not in one vard alone, nrovided the the equipment, and the armament of 4th (On Inns saa. Lb (Bsaaacoa).

There may easily be delays from labour troubles and other causes which materially retard the preparation cf the ship for effective service after she has been put into the water. The immediate benefit resulting from the launch of any ship is that it seta free a slip upon which another vessel may be begun.

The great success of the Indomitable haa already suggested the possibility that succeeding types of battleship may approximate more closely to her design than to that of the St. Vincent. This may or may not be the case, but it appears at once to raise the question how far it ia expedient to reduce protection in order to achieve additional Thure is a difference of quite four knots in the rirwrifwaJ a 01 the two designs, and probably a iintalt 1 1 realitv. But as acairwt this there the faster ship a material loss in both nve and defensive strength. However, it haa been eon lectured that, in the battleships which are to follow the St.

Vincent, guns of Riualir power will be mounted and such guns, it is said, have already answered the expectations of their makers on the proving grounds. On the other hand, no similar improvement have been reported the methods of marrufactur ing armour with mcreased resisting power, similar to those which followed the introduction of tho Harvey and Krupp systems. It is natural, then, to expect that, if another experimental vessel is laid down next year, the innovation in her design will affect aome other among the essential tl ments of the ship. It is this possibility, no dcubt, which baa given currency to the rumour that a trial will tie made of the Bn producer engine with which the Vickers firm have already offered to equip a batUeahip, and which has been successfully installed in the Rattier, an old gunboat, by Messrs.
