It is reported that the Navy Board will ask Congress to appropriate $20,000,000 for a single battle-ship that is to displace 40,000 tons. The largest battle-ship so far has about 30,000 tons displacement. This proposed increase from 30,000 to 40,000 tons would have made one of the largest battle-ships afloat fifteen years ago. The greatest speed of the supposedly large battle-ships of fifteen years ago was only about 17 to 18 knots an hour, and they cost only about $4,000,000. This proposed 40,000 ton ship is to have engines that will drive her through the water at 25 knots an hour. She is to be heavily armed and armored. The details of her plan, however, are not given out as yet. If this project is carried out, of course it will make all previous battle-ships of all the nations completely out of date. This war game is becoming more and more interesting, particularly to those who know the prophecies concerning the preparation of the nations in this time for the war of Armageddon of the great day of almighty God.
