Plaat, Doakyand Chaplain, the great ship was caly laid up by the last support or dog borce, as they arp Jormed. Lady Meux, having brokom a bottle of wine over she bows of the ship, wa prosented with a guided chisel, and abor-wood malles, and with thoab tools he cut the cord stretched over a blook. i tho plnilom." Immediately there was a dull chil, announcing that the dog. the great hul, which had a total weight chores had been knocked away. Instantly

down the way. Gathering speed se of 10,000 tons, bogan to slowly move

aba desoceded, the Queen Elizabeth Book the water in splendid style. She drifted well out into the harbour, and then the.

On Oct 10 battleship of unique shar -acteristics was launoted at Portsmouth Dockyard. She is to be driven by steam raised in water tube bailers heated, ex- aladively by climbed of cool; she is expected, ca develop a spoed at about thirty knots; she is to have 'eight jäin guna, besides sixteen, 6 guns; and the -in designpd sa, sa so offer her crow pro tection from the attack of alrakip or soroplane. In each of these respects this British vessel the Queen Elizabeth- stands first in the world's foots; nowheenayoben were let down, which brought

her broadalle on to the dockyard.

As the ship commcneed to move, iko crowds raised enthusiastic cheers, while the regimental bands played Rule, Bri- for by Fer-Admiral Hostb, concluded tannia," Cheers for Lady Moux, called the ceremony. Subsequently there wea Junebeen in sho new joinery shop. The Queen Elizabeth will today be taken into the largo basin of the dockyard, where she is to be brought forward for completion.

hey like under construction, except in England, and here there are four sia- ter ships building the Warapito si Do vonport Dockyard, and the Valiant, the Barbaro, and the Malaya in private yards The new class stands sions at present but it is already known that is design is being copied in some, if not all, re specie by more than one foreign Power.

The Admiralty have not issued any description of the ship, sad, the autho ritice of Portsmouth Dockyard, rafting, sil, particulars as to her design, but ber general characteristics. se stated, are widely known. She is the largest ship yet built for the British Navy. har main characteristles being:

Displacement. 27,500 tema. Length, 680 feet on the water line, and

625 feet between perpendiculars. Bean, 4 feet.

Mean draught, 27 foot. Propelling machinery (Parsons's tar-

bines), 58,000 shaft horse-power. Cost (about), £2,300,000,

The armament will be heavier than ang yet provided for a British battleship, for the Queen Elizabeth is to carry sight of the new 15in guns. They will be mounted in pairs in heavily armoured barbettes, all of which will be placed on the centre line of the ship. Each of these guza weighs 96 tous, as against 76 tons in the case of the 13.5ia wespon. and it will fre a projectile of 1,950,

Tho feature at the Queen Elizabeth and her sisters which tae exited the

greatest interest, in and out of Parlia ment, is the fact that she is the first lage ship to rely on off only, thus re- sembling a large number of the destro yors in the Fleet. All the battleships launched during the past ten years have bad ci as an auxiliary to coat, so that the advance to a battleship burning oil anly is merely a natural process of evolui- tion which is being followed in other countries, and notably in the United will form a fort squadron for duty with State The fire skips of tho now class

DEFENCE AGAINST AIRCRAFT. Another feature is that armour » pro- action against serial attack is to be pro- vidod, and the funnel-tops are also to be protected against bomb-dropping. There ara, to be four submerged tubes on the broadside for the now 21in torpedoes, and one at the sters. These missiles have, it is claimed, an effective range of seven miles. In the shape of the bows, too, the Queen Elizabeth repre seate new departure. Previous Dread-" noughts kave proved themselves what sailors term "dirty skipa, for they uave been found to roll heavily and pitch deeply in a seaway. In order to over- come these objections, the Queen Eliza beth's bows have been designed so as to givo the fore part of the ship greater buoyancy. This has bo effected by broadening the sides of the bows as they rise from the water line, so that looking up at the ship's stem the sectional view gives the idea of a bell upside down. | This will. is chaidered, cfar greater resistance to the water when the ship dips, and give her greater steadiness. It will also provide an extended deck surface, while the bell-shaped tidos, by driving the water outwards, will prevent barvy, soos wasċing over the fore part.

ECONOMY OF FUEL,

In her propelling machinery the Queen Elizabeth will also mark & new develop ment. The chief feature of her engine. is that they will be on the principle of geared turbines.

Although the Admi ay have experimented with this in genious device in small craft, this is the first occasion on which they have been supplied to first-class battleship.
