TORPEDOES MUST GO.
They Will Not Hereafter Be Carried by Untied
Statu Cruisers.
Whiiitiff nn. .Tuno 91. Thn nnvv
pedocs do not properly belong on
cruisers, and should not bo carried by
thoso vessels. This decision was
reached with regard to a number of
cruisers which were recently designed,
as well as others which arc under
course of construction, and changes
in the original plans will bo made
accordingly. It is held that the ex
perience of several cruisers during the
Spanish war clearly demonstrated the
inadvisability of carrying these in
struments of warfare on such large
ships. ,
In some instances tho torpedoes
were launched through tubes , just
above the water line, bow and '6 tern;
in others the tubes wero submerged.
On the new cruisers referred to these
tubes will bo omittcdxcept on thoso
of the Maine class.''' Tho determina
tion to do away with torpedoes on the
cruisers will', of course, leave more
room aboard ship, which can be put
to some other use. It will also leave
flee a certain number of officers and
men assigned to torpedo duty, who
can be used to better advantage in
some other way.
Perhaps one of the most material
advantages gained, however, is this
extra space. Tinio and again con
tractors who have undertaken to build
cruisers have complained of tho lack
of space for tho engnies which must
be erected in the ships. It is believed
that if tho space vacated by tho tor
pedoes can bo turned over to the
engine rooms, this source- of annoy
ance will be obviated. That, at least,
is the opinion of several large con
tractors who are now building cruisers
tor tho navy.
