Future Battleships) and Guns.
From the Scientific American.
Tha battleship of the future will be
of great else: displacement will be not
less than 20,000 tons: and this will In
orase so rapidly that a SO, 000-ton ship
will probably be afloat before ths closs
of the next decade. The main arma
ment will consist exclusively of heavy
guns Of not less than 13 Inches calibre,
and unless ths difficulty of erosion can
bs overcome the 12-lnch will glva place
to a 13-lnch and possibly to a 14-lnch
piece.
Future engagements will bs fought at
an extreme range, the extent of which
will be limited only by the ability of tha
fire control officer to see the fall of ths
shots. The determination of the range
at which an engagement shall be fought
will lie with the fleet which possesses
tbs faster speed.
