THE CR ISER

BUILT FOR SPEED

Descriptionfoi the Battle Cruiser Which Brought Prince

oi Wales t

H. M. S. ltenown, which brought

the Prince of Wales to Canada last week is one of the battle cruisers which was built in record time in the second year of the war. She is a sis- ter ship of the ltepulse, and -these two combine several unique featurcs ol' the modern cruiser. Their main nrinarnent of six fifteen inch guns is but two less -than the Royal Sov- ereign type, which carries eight fif- teen inch guns, _the heaviest arma- ment in tho British Navy. Their speed, greater than that of all others armored ships of their class, is_ 32 knots an hour, 7 knots more than that of the Queen Elizabeth type. ln their lengith of 750 feet they are comparable only to the largest of ocean liners for all other war craft now nriuat falls short of them by nian-,f feet. _

llesides all -this, their history is a

ronianco of the sea. Tlie1il14-1915 'iavai construction program included ioui' llattlesiiips, two of which it had been decided should be constructed hy private builders, and, says Bras- acy’s Naval Annual, contracts had 'bcen entered into with Messrs Pal- incr's and the Fairiielrl Co., for these vessels, They-were to be of the Royal Sovereign type and named Re- pulse and Renown.

While yet in the very early stage

of construction, .the Battle of the l-‘nik-larul Islands was fought, ami the experience of that ba-tile, as well as that in the Heligoland ilight, on Aug, 28, 1914, indicated the immense value of high speed, coupled with long range powerful giinilre, and large radius of action; these quali- ties in association enabling a. ship to run down those of -the enemy under any circumstances, with thc power' ol’ forcing or declining action as ex- pedient. -

On December 10, 1914, the Director

of Naval Construction \vas informed that a new battle-cruiser design was required. - The vessel was to havo a speed of 32 knots, with six ,15-in. gurls. The armoured protection was to bo comparatively li-gl\t,in order to obtain the increased rate of speed. lt was to the initiative of Lord Fisher, then First Sea Lord, tiiat this design was cliiefiy due. It was de- cilled to cancel the contracts for the ilepulse and Renown, and -to com- plete tthcsr, vessels as battle-cruisers of tho new design. As Messrs. Pal- \ner's were unable to build a vessel of the -length required (750 ft.) Messrs. John Brown & Go., Clyde- bank, were given the ordcr for thc cruiser Repulse. The material or- dered -and delivered at the l‘almer's and Falrilei-d yards for -tho battle- ships was used as far as possible for 'tho battle-cruisers.

BUILT IN 19 MONTHS

On January 25 the keels of both

vessls. were officially laid down. ’i‘he Repulse was launched on .Tan- uany 8, 1916, the launching wcight being 15,156 tons, and the ReIi0Wl\

was launched on March 4, 1916, with a weight of 16,065 tons. The steam trials of the Repulse took place on Aug. 15, 1910, and her gun trials -three days later. On the way to join the Grand Fleet, she carried out pro- gressive measured mile trials on Sept. 15, 1il1ti,and on the 21st she joined tho flag of Sir John .iellicoe at Scapa. The ship was thus built by the contractors within nineteen months from the date oi' laying ,down, which. considering sho was of -novel type, constituted not only a world record but a particularly iliie performance, reflecting the highest credit upon the ingenuity and or- ganizing powers of the leaders in the industries affected. The Renown left the.i<‘airfield Yard on Sept. 18. 1916, carried on her gun trials on the follovving day, and a steam trial on the 20th. Sho was thus only a little over fl month behind her sister ship.

On Sept. 25, 1916, the Lords of the

Admiralty forwarded a letter to the Director of Naval Construction, ex- pressing' and conveying to him and to the members of his staff con- cerned, "their appreciation of the highly satisfactory and expeilitioiin manner in which the work of riesign- ing, building, and' completing the Re- pulse had been carried out."

of these. ships, as compared with those of the Tiger 'wore as follows:

SACRIFICES FOR SPEED

As it was iiecessary that the ships

should bo completed as quickl~y as possible, the proposition was accept- ed to duplicate the machinery of the Tiger( with some additional boilers. (‘c~nslderable economy of time was made possible by this plan. Tho turbitie machinery was of tho llrowri~Gurtis type, with forty-two Babcock and Wilcox boilers, arrang- ed to burn oil fuel only. -So far as protection was concerned, the invin- cible class of ship was taken as the standard type, and the burbettes, as in that vessel, had a thickness of 7 in., and the armour belt a thickness of C in. over thc length occupied by the macliinery and niagazlnes, with 4 in. forward and il in. :uit on the extensions, thc depth of the belt bc- lng 9 ft. The armoured bulkheads were 4 in. and 3 in. thick with 1 1-2 in. protection to thc funnel cnsings_ The 15 in gun turrets had il in, ar- mour in front and 7-in. armour at the sides, wi-th heavy steel roofl plates. This protection was certain- lv light in order to obtain the speed. but the displacement and draui-;l\i were less than in the Lion or Tiller. and although the belt armour was rather thin. the internal protection of tho decks was equal to that Of these battle-cruisers. fWitli the ex- perience gained at the Battle of Jut- land, considerable Ialtcratlons (were made to improve the belt, deck, and undcnwater protection. These fur- ther additions to the armour made the vessel compare favorably with the Lion and Tiger in regard to pro- tection, as they already did in re- gard to armament -and speed.

Ag already stated, the main arma-

ment conslsted of six 15-ln. Suns. mounted on the middle line. tW0 pairs in boi-bcttcs forivard, and one pair aft. The two pairs forward are respectively 35 ft. and 45 fl. l1`b0VS the water line, and the gtli1S Ui’ U10 after barbette are 23 ft. above it. All the guns have 20 degrees eleviv tion.

ADRIF'T 6 MONTHS

UPON ICE FLOE

EDMONTON, Aug. 16.-To-be six

months adrift on an ice float in the Arctic ‘Soa. cut off from all civiliza- tion by miles of deep water,-was the experience of Storker T. Storkersen, who arrived in the city last night from the Great, Northern Waste. Oh-I servatlons of great scientific value were made while the pai'ty was on the lor- float, but these will not be experience of ‘Storker 'l‘, Storkcrsen, meets his chief, Vilhjalmar Stefan!-

~son‘; in Banff next “S‘etturday"' and

prepares his full report.

Stefansson was taken iii at the

last moment, and Mr.` Storkersen, be- ing second in command, was forced to take eominand of the party and proceed without the other explorers.

So in the spring ot' 1918, after all

preliminary arrangements had been made, he set out from liodcr island on March 15th with thirteen men, eighty dogs ami eight sleds. The object before the daring little party was to star for one ycar if possible on an ice-iloe and dril`t during this time. They wished to determine tho currents, if any, in Beaufort Sea to take soundings and to discover any new land that might not have been i-ilghted before.

WAS TAKEN ILL

Four months after the party went

adrift on the floe. Mr. Storkcrscn was taken ill, with asthma, brought on by the c-xtreme cold, ami ii: was decided to return to shore. The rest of the party then being A at lati- tude 74, longtiillrle 147 W. started again for the American continent and arrived pl; (‘.i1pG Hl1ll((‘l.t 011 NOV- ember 7th. lfrom (`ape llalkelt, they proceeded to Iloder island, where they fell in with (lnpt. Anderson, from whom they got supplies for winter of 1919.

The trip was absolutely tho first

of its kind. No other living man has ever delivcratoly set himself adrift on an ice-floc for scientific pur- poses, Taking everything into con- slderatioii, the journey was most satisfactory. in the first place, it was found that there wcrc no per- manent cuircnts in the sea. The ice-floc drifted with the wind and its course apcarcd to bc determined by that agent alone.

Owing to certain phenomena ob-

served by Mr. Storkersen, he was inclined to think that there was land to te north of the point reached. The reason for this supposition was the fact that in this six months the Ifloe turned completely around. The huge iloe was seven miles in length and at least fifteen miles in width. Seals, pol-_ir hears. ducks, gulls and land birds abounded on it, while shriinps andsmall fish appeared to be the chief food ii the seals.

As a result of the strange voyage,

much important information was gleaned. Keenan Land, which was supposed to be discovercd'by Cavi- Keenan, was found to be 1100-6!!- istent. At least there was no land on latitude 74 and between longi- tude 140 W 52. which was where Keenan placed his find. Instead of land, was water' from 500 meters to 4.500 meterg deep.

Mr. Storkersen strongly recom-

mended thc Government‘s plan of coinmercializlng the musk ox. _
