most equal to those of a launching
marked the laying of the keel of the
new battleship Florida at the Brook
lyn navy yard today. The occasion
waa marked by the presence of a large

the history of the navy. On March 9,
18(12, the Monitor, which was con
structed In Brooklyn, fought the Mer
rlmac In Hampton Roads.
The Florida and her slsttr ship, the
Utah, will be the two most powerful
vessels of-the United States navy aud
will be equal to any afloat. They will
be 25,000 ton vessels. The keel of the
Utah was recently laid at Camden,

private shipbuilding firm, nnd there Is
great rivalry between her builders nnd
the nnvy yard here In regard to the
time of completion of the two ships.
Every effort will be made by the gov
ernment constructors iu charge of the
Florida's building to have her com
pleted before the Utah Is ready for
launching. The local navy yard offi
cials arc proud of their record lu con
structing the Connecticut, flagship of
the around the world fleet, but they
will try to surpass that record In build
ing the Florida.
There Is already n Florida, n coast
defense monitor, on the navy llt. but
she will have to yield the name to the
battleship.
