WARSHIP CONSTRUCTION,
THE BATTLESHIP OF THE FUTURE.
Earl Cawdor, the President, took the chair on March 16th at the opening meeting of the session of the Institution of Naval Architects, which is being held in the Hall of the Royal Society of Arts. There was a very large at- tendanon.

classes of vessels. It was this defencelessness against the torpedo which had changed, to a certain extent, the tactical and strategical uso of battleship. The battleship was solely gou platform. Progress in deaign had contin ously been in the direction of increased offensive gainst gou power. The accuracy of the gun of to-day at 12,000 yards was considerably greater than the accuracy of this gun of thirty years ago at 2,000 yards. And there was every reason to believe that the power of the gun could, within the next few years, be considerably in- creased. The race between gau and armour which had been going on for over half a century was being decided, for the moment, in favour of the gun; nor was there any indication of there being a chance of improving the armour and strengthening general construction so as to rander ships reasonably immune from armour- piercing projectiles So far, therefore, as ragarded mere perforation of
armony with armour-piercing projectiles, there seemed to be no immediata necessity for increasing
the power of the gun. But penetration of armour was not the sole object of gun fire. The chief damageHE P.&O. S. N. Ce's Steamor would probably be done by heavy bursting charges. With power-worked mountings rate of fire need not be reduced as guns increased in size, and therefore the desirability of rapid hitting and effect of the hits when obtained both pointed to steady increase in the size of the Es. If the gun was to be increas. ed in size one of three things must happen: (1) The number of guns must be reduced; or (2) the armour protection must be reduced; or
ment against size was the enormous cost of each (3) the speed must be reduced. The chief argu- ship, and, therefore, the large losa iu case of sinking. Another argument was that our har bours were already too small, and that the ships were becoming too large to handle in fleste. Constructionally there seemed no doubt that the larger the ship the more likely she was to survive the blow of a forpedo. Surviving, however, was not the sole point. Damage by a torpado would tomporarily incapacitate a alip, however large she might be but the smaller ship might sink and the less como perunacat. The question, therefore, resolved itself into one of time of repair. Many perferred a larger amount of anailor ships to less number of large ships. The smaller-sized ships involved carrying fewer guns, or a mixed armament of heavy and lighter uns, both of which were adverse factors to hitting at long ranges. The most modern type of kuttleship at present sonstrusted was re- presented by the Dreadnought class and the improved succeeding vessels-features of which were the

Lord Cawdor said they met this year under coumstances of sxceptional interest, because just ifty years ago the Institution was founded. Jubilee meetings would be held this summer to celebrate the anniversary. He con. gratulated the members upon having completed be a permanent and enduring record of the of naval architecture and marine progress engineering. This valuable work had played an important part in promoting the advancement of this branch of applied science in every land whose seaboard sze maritime interests mido the building of ships a matter of primary import auce. Io was pleased to observe that the affairs of the Institution generally seemed to be in a highly satisfactory condition. Of all the branches of engineering there was none, perlings, of greater importance to this country, through their influence upon both the Navy and the Mercantile Marine, than naval architestare and marine engineering. In the latter industry the steam turbine, which lad given so remarkable un impetus to the develop ment of speed in ships, continued to grow in favour. Last year's output of 468,000 shaft horse power showed a substantial advance of 25 per cent. on the average of the previous two years, while the reciprocating engines turned out during 1909 totalled just over 1,000,000 horse power, or substantially the ammo in amount as the average of the previous two years. While theadrantages of the turbine in high-speed ships were now fully recogelsed, the reciprocating engine continued to hold its own for economy at lower speeds, but its place in this field also war How boing menaced by the adaptation of the steam turbine to vessels of moderat speed For smaller craft progress was stemtily being made in the ue of the internal combus tien engine wherever it could be pro. fitably reployed. Our fishing fleets, which were formerly so picturesquely propelled by safla, had undergone a first transformation through the influence of steam, and were now in a transition period due to the advent of the internal com bustion engine. Perhaps the most interesting application of this engine was that which End led to the experimental solation of the problem of flight. Already the question was engaging the attention of our naval and military experts, and an acronautical brezel of the Naval Servico had been inaugurated. This new de parture might lead to signal changes in worship design, wile the possibility of aerial transporta tion becoming a commercial reality opened up a most interesting fold of speculation. The output of mercantile tonnage in the United Kingdom during 1969 was 591,000, showing az increase of 61,400 tons on the previous year.
