-SIX BATTLESHIPS TO GO INTO DISCARD Maine, Alabama, Wisconsin, Illi nois, Kentuckjl and Koarsargc Termed Back Numbers r WLL STAY AT NAVY YARD Six bnltleship stationed at Plillndrl TiMa. Willi n flRsrcgntc tonnage of 70 000, are coins into the dlcnrd. An order from the bureau of opera tions of Hi'" Xnvy UepVirtmcut direct nz that the bnttlohlns Maine, Ala hama. Wisconsin. TlMjioin, Kentucky and KearwRe he placed out of commis sion, has hern received by the com mandant of the navy nrd. These shir'' '"'111 now nugment the old "back channel fleet" comprising the battleship' Iowa, Indiana and Massa chusetts, which since long before the Tjr had been Allures nt Philadelphia. They nere ecommisiioiicd during the war and used for coast defense nnd training ship. The ships affected by the order are among the first of the vessels which constituted the "new navy." They have ncer been actually in battle, hav ing beer, completed hhortlv after the Spanifih -American war, and since then, superseded by several classes of pro dreadnoughts and super-drcadnbughts, they were relegated to the class of third -Mine battleships before America's partic ipation in the war. On Transport Duty After the airnlsticc tliCBC vessels, vtith ome cruisers, were assigned to troop transport dutj. Their secondary gun batteries were removed and berth decks cleared as much as possible tp'make room for the returning doughboys. -Since the conclusion of this service the vessels have been stationed at Phila delphia in reduced commission. The Alabama, Illinois nnd Wisconsin last summer were used for the training cruise of the Annapolis midshipmen. The order discarding these ships is in accordance with the navy's policy of economy and curtailment from its war basis, there being at present no use for them, as they arc of obsolete design, and the cost of thi-ir maintenance ind upkeep is very heavy. There is an acute shortage of officers and men iu the navy at present, nnd ihe placing of these vessels out of coni nisiou will release approximately IfiOO men for duty with the active fleets. The ships, with the exception of the Maine, are armed with .an old type of ihort caliber, 13-inch rltic. The Maine has 12-inch gun. All were units of the battle fleet that the United States aent around the world with such a aplendid efficiency record in IflOS. Were Subjects of Criticism The Kentucky and Kcarsargc are the ships around which such a storm of criticism and protest arose ten years ago regarding defects in their design and general battle efficiency . They were at that time cited as examples of the gen eral faulty design of American bat tleships regarding the placing of dc fensie armor and dangeious construc tion of big-gun turrets and ammunition-handling devices. The criticisms, written by a promi nent writer on naval subjects, attract ed wide attention on their publication with photographs and drawings in "a magazine. The data was at that time said to have been furnished the writer by Admiral Sims, in his efforts to in crease the navy's efficiency. There is u possibility that on their retirement the ships will either be sold as scrap or used ai floating targets for the new fleet to test the destruc tie power of our latest guns nnd shells. Navy yard officials cbtimatc that it will take from three to four months to place the big shipb out of commission. The Maine, the largest of those to be ietired, has a displacement of 10,000 Ions. She was completed at Cramp's m 11102. The Kcarsargc and Kentucky. 11.C00 ions, were built at Newport News in WOO The Illinois, 12.100 tons, was r.iso completed there in 1001. The Wis onsin and Alabama, 12,100 tons, were built in 1001, the former at San Fran cisco and the latter at Cramp's, Phil adelphia.
