THE OLD AND THE NEW BATTLESHIP MAINE (BB-10). |
The new battleship Maine, the keel of which has just been laid, is to have a speed of l8 knots. She will be a ship of 15,500 tons displacement and in her main battery will carry four 12 inch guns and twelve 6 inch guns. These figures give a partial idea of the superiority of the new Maine over the old one. Among other things the new Maine will probably have underwater torpedo tubes, the first ever put in any ship in the American navy. All the guns of the Maine, except the big 12 inch ones in the turrets, will be of the rapid fire pattern. Her secondary battery will be exceptionally strong. She will be 368 feet on the water line, 27 feet beam and will have a draft of 24 feet 7 inches when she has full supplies of stores and ammunition and 2,000 tons of coal on board. The wonderful Krupperized armor has proven so good that the Maine will have 12 inch plates of it put on her instead of the 16.5 inch Harveyized armor originally planned for.

BATTLESHIP MAINE (BB-10) NOT UP TO CONTRACT |
For the first time in the history of the United States Navy, a modern battleship has failed to attain the speed qualifications of her contract. The Maine in her trial over the Cape Ann course last Saturday failed to make 18 knots per hour, as specified in the contract between the Government and William Cramp & Sons of Philadelphia.

THE BATTLESHIP MAINE (BB-10) |
That the Battleship Maine is foreordained to disaster is shown, according to the superstitious sailor in the United States navy, by the latest mishap which has occurred to her. She is lying off Tompkinsville with four ugly cracks in the frames of her boilers. This is the third accident she has met with in two years.
