LARGE GUNsTtm THE
NEW BATTLESHIPS
The Connecticut and Louisana Will
Carry the Most Powerful in
the World.
By Kxclulc Wire from The Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 26. The Connecti
cut and Loulsanna, the two new battle
ships authorized by the last naval ap
piopriation bill, will carry the most
poweiful guns, measured by calibre in
the world. With the building of each
new set of battleships, Admiral O'Neil,
chief of the bureau of ordinance, has
tried to Increase the power of the main
batteries and for the Connecticut and
Louisana he intends to Incieasc the
length of the big tunet guns to 43-call-bie.
Heietofore, the longest naval guns
built have been only 40 times their cali
bie. Not only will this lenghtening of,
the guns Inciense their efficiency ns to
range and velocity, (and, theiefore,
penetrating power,) but it will consti
tute a distinct advantage to the ships.
The muzzle of guns ot 40-cullbie when
sw ung broadsIde-'-just renelj- the- lail
and the side blast when fired prevents
the use of secondaiy guns Immediately
below. By inci easing the length to 45
calibres, the muzzles of the guns aie
eairled well out boaid. Some impiove
nients also will bo made to secuie high
er Initial velocity.
