THREE SCOliTINC WARSHIPS
Fastest Naval Greyhounds of the Ooean
Planned by the Government.
NEW TYPE OF VESSEL BUILDING
W'bat Their Addition to Cncle m'
Fleet Will Mean Notable Changes
la Naval Designs and
Equipment.
To the new navy of the United Btates
there are soon to be added three vessels of
a type which has never before been con
structed on this side of the Atlantic and
which has but very lately been Introduced
Into the navy of Great Britain. These are
the "scouts" which congress recently auth
orlsed, vessels of great length and narrow
beam, of small battery power but of tre
mendous speed. Their mission, as the name
Implies, Is to keep the battle line informed
as to the whereabouts of an enemy, and to
effectively perform this work they are to be
endowed with a speed which will enable
them to bring news far ahead of any pur
suit.
Their advent Into the martial world afloat
will bring about a new formation In fleets
when they are on the litgn seas with battle
flags unfurled. Their place then will be in
front of the armored cruiser line, and their
duty to search out and keep In touch with
the enemy, note his strength and formation
and signal by wireless or convey this in
formation to the armored cruisers, which in
turn will signal it the battlesnlps, which in
the new tactics are to take position behind
ths armored cruisers, a cordon of destroy
ers In rear and on the flanks of the battle
ships and In the safe and well churned
water of the leaders.
To perform this duty of touch and run
to observe and flee beyond chance of pur
suit It Is essential that vessels Intended
for Oils service be given a speed In excess
of that possessed by any fighting ship of
the enemy, and moreover that they be pos
sessed of a size and power sufficient to en
able them to maintain a splitting gait In
any sort of weather. Another prlmo requi
site Is that they be as small and incon
spicuous as possible with these require
ments of speed and stanchness.
. In the Chester and its class ths Navy de
partment believes that it has combined all
of these qualities an Inconsplcuousness of
build which will enable a near approach,

a stachness which will enable them to drive

Their Uses,
In the prize essay of the current number
of the Naval Institute Commander Brad
ley A. Flske of the United States navy
points out the uses of this type of vessel.
In his admirable paper, which has at
tracted wide attention and led to .much
discussion among navy men, the writer
says that It may be conceded that scouts
are not so much needed now as they were
In the days before cables and fast mall
ships and wireless telegraphy were In use;
because scouts were then the only means
by which Information could be got. In
nearly every case that would be probable
In the near future, when wireless messages
can be exchanged between ships 200 miles
apart, the Information which scouts can
get would bo got at some time without
scouts; so that It may be said truly that
the only value of scouts will be to get
information quicker than It would be got
otherwise. It la true that Information
which Is got too late may be worth noth
ing; so the last statement may be modified
by saying that the only value of scouts Is
to get Information that could not be got
quickly enough by any other means..
Now, It Is apparent that the Information
which a scout will get will almost always
be got by seeing a certain number of the
enemy's ships going In a certain direction.'
In very many cases this Information would
be of value, but It may be pointed out that
at the same tlmo that the scout would see
the enemy's ships the odds are heavy that
those ships would see the scout, and that
the Information conveyed to the enemy by
seeing the scout might In many cases
offset the value of the information that
the scout would get, and It Is possible that
la some cases the Information given to the
enemy by seeing the scout might be of
muoli greater value to the enemy than the
Information given to the scout's admiral,
It Is also to be borne In mind that the
scout may make a mistake as to what he
sees, that his means of getting accurate
Information can rarely be very good and
that his report to his commnnder-ln-ehlef
may bo erroneous and misleading and there
fore worse than useless. That this may
happen Is proved by tho fact that It has
happened.
Now, If before the war wo allow our ships
and squadrons and fleets and auxiliaries to
become widely separated and then try to
get. them together, Information of what the
enemy is doing may be of the very first Im
portance; but If we get our entire fleet to
gether before tho war begins and drill It
until It can be handled as a unit, which
will probably be the case, t Is apparent
that the value of scouts will not then be so
great. Their principal value then will be
tn bringing the two fleets to battle before
they would otnerwise be brought to battle.
This Is because no great fleet will waste
Its energies on anything leas than ths other
fleet
In ths case that ens Beet Is got together
before the war and the other not It la clear
that scouts will then be of more value
than If both fleets had already been
formed. In this case scouts will probably be
more used by the concentrated fleet than
by the disconnected squadrons, for the
reason that each disconnected squadron
will be so fearful of being caught alone by
the concentrated fleet that It will keep its
ships together and try to sneak along to
the rendezvous, taking up as little space as
possible.
Important Pnrt of Naval Warfare.
Scouting, therefore, while important.
must be looked on as one of the minor
operations of naval warfare. If this be
true. It follows that we should expend as
small a part of our naval force as possible
In scouts. And for the reason that scouts
must of necessity be able to stay a long
time at sea and go fast from place to place
they must be massive and carry a great
amount of coal, In our war with Spain
vessels like the Tale and Harvard made
excellent scouts. Their great mass enabled
them to keep up their speed In any kind of
seaway; their large bunkers enabled them
to stay long at sea; they could always be
relied on not to break down, and the fact
that they looked like merchant ships
masked somewhat their Identity. It would
seem, therefore, as If our ordinary scouts
should be vessels like the very large At
lantic liners.
But as. they must be under me orders of
the commander-in-chief afloat, and as they
must be able to make and read signals of
all kinds, It Is clear that It will be neces
sary to put on board, say, two officers and
a few signalmen. In addition to the regu
lar merchant ship crew.
The fact, however, that the enemy will
seek to prevent scouts from getting Infor
mation leads us to Bee the value of what
may be called "military scouts," vessels
which are so strongly armored and armed
that they cfMyjpt easily be driven off.
As the first requisite of all scouts Is that
they shall be nt?le to see. It Is clear that
special attention must be paid to observing
stations, where telescopes can be mounted.
Inasmuch as the worst enemy of seeing by
telescope Is vibration, It Is essential to a
good scout that Its observing station shall
not vibrate when the scout is going at the
speed at which it will probably be going
when doing Its destined work. To accom
plish this It is clear that the observing sta
tion should be very substantially con
structed, that the ship 'should be very
strongly built and that the engines should
be balanced with exceptional care.
In a discussion of the foregoing views of
Commander Flske Lieutenant Commander
Chambers gives It as his opinion that there
is a different class of snout needed, and
one that may lie referred to as blockade
scouts. This class will be the eyes of a
fleet blockading or making the enemy's
fleet at an advanced base, which may bo
distant 100 miles from the enemy. Slow
cruisers will not do. A sufficient number
of merchant vessels of proper speed would
not be available, and these scouts must
he provided In time of peace to be avail
able In time of war. They will, further
more, be more efficient In time of war if
well tried out In time of peace, and It Is
apparent that these scouts may be main
tained In a greater degree of efficiency by
performing the ordinary peace duties re
ferred to In the essay.
Itadlcal Differences.
Between the three American scouts and
the eight which Great Britain has pro
jected there Is a wide difference In appear
ance and design. The British vessel is
smaller, carries much less coal, and be
cause of Its low freeboard Is less conspicu
ous than the type which out shipyards are
turning out. Whether It will prove faster
or not remains to be seen. The British
type vessel of this class is the Sentinel, a
3.000-ton racer, which has the appearance
of an enlarged destroyer. The American
type, on the other hand, more resembles a

On Its trial trip, which was recently held,
the British Sentinel, during an eight-hour
full-power test maintained tho extraordi
nary speed of 26.24 knots an hour. As a
measure of the cost of such high power, the
Scientific American notes that to Increase
tho speed from 22.5 knots to 26 Involved
doubling the horse-power required for the
former speed.
As showing how largely the great Increase
In horse-power and speed of modern war
ships has contributed to their cost, it may
be mentioned that during the course of this
trial the new vessel steamed around one
of the armored cruisers of sixteen years
ago, which was being taken under tow to
its moorings, where it Is to He as an un
used ship until sold. This cruiser of six

vessel has only a third the displacement of
