Battleships and Their Obsolescence

By Editor

Both of the battle-ship illustrations on page 11 are taken from that most excellent of all journals in its line, the Scientific American. In an analysis of the two ships, that journal shows that the American ships are all around superior with the exception of coal-carrying capacity, which would permit the Brazilian vessels to steam farther without recoaling. Both types are monsters to destroy. How long will it be before they will be made obsolete by newer types?
