It can hardly be possible that such an estimate has been made by any person familiar with the shipbuilding facilities of Germany, even making all due allowance for abnormal expansion of these facilities to meet the necessities of the occasion. It has been stated that drydocks would even be utilized for the purpose of erecting them, as if the problem were primarily one of ground space. The entire shipbuilding capacity of Germany is...
Page 62 - ... to the distribution of oil among the ports from which fuel might be required by our vessels in time of war is one that is well within our power to solve, as from its nature the oil can be transported and stored more easily than can coal. Indeed, for the transport of oil in time of war we are already better provided than for coal, there being a large number of tank steamers flying the American flag. Oil is therefore certain rapidly to replace coal as a fuel for naval purposes.
Page 62 - ... 1867. All these experiments have confirmed our belief in the considerable military advantages which will accrue from its use, but until recently it has been impracticable to use it extensively on account of the uncertainty as to the adequacy of its supply and the sufficiency of its distribution among the seaports of the world. We are now assured, however, as regards the supply, that there is sufficient oil on the public lands of the state of California alone to supply all probable naval demands...
Page 62 - Fuel can be taken aboard more rapidly without manual labor and without interruption to the routine of the ship. The problem of fueling at sea is solved. Steam for full power can be maintained as readily as for low power. A vessel burning oil is capable of runs at full speed limited in duration only by the supply of fuel. There is no reduction in speed due to dirty fires or to difficulty in trimming coal from remote bunkers or to exhaustion of the fireroom force. There are no cinders and the amount...

Page 62 - The stowage and handling of oil is much easier than of coal and will result in a much cleaner ship with consequent increase in time available for drills. The mechanical supply of fuel to the boilers gives a prompt and delicate control of the steam supply, permitting more sudden changes in speed than with coal, which is a tactical advantage. The nature of fuel oil permits utilization of remote portions of the ship and of constricted spaces for its stowage. These advantages have long been recognized...
