Official an nouncement was made by the Navy deoartment today that upon the out come of the proposed test flight of me new navy mrgiDic irora mc naval air station, Montauk, N, Y., to St. Johns, N. F. would "depend the future plans in regard to the possibility' of attempting ' later a transatlanticflight by a dirigible." The flight to Newfoundland, a dis tance of approximately 1,000 miles, it was said, would be made "when ever weather conditions are favor able." 1 In making this announcement the Navy department disclosed much data regarding the C-S not hereto fore published. The new dir'gible, which was commissioned only a week ago, is commanded by Com mander E. W. Col), and the mem bers of the crew are Lieuts. J. V. Lawrence and M. H. Easterly, En sign D..P. Campbell and Chief Ma chinists' Mates T. L. Moormsn and. S. H. Blackburn. The C-5 is a twin engine non-rigid airship, with two 125-horsc power engines. The dirigible has Van en velope displacement of approximate ly 178,000 feet, an envelope length of 192 feet and envelope diameter of nearly 42 feet, making her the larg est of the navy's airships. ; 1 . Large Carrying Capacity. - The normal speed of ie C-S is placed, in the Navy department's an nouncement at SO miles an hour with an enduranee at normal speed of 10 hours. Ho.wever, in addition to the useful load of 4,000. pounds and to the crew of six, it was leafhed that provision can be made for a greater gasoline-carrying capacity, thus in creasing her cruising ability greatly beyond the estimated 500 miles. At a speed of 42 knots the airship ha? a fuel consumption of 10 gallons. Officials at the Navy department appear- to be entirely Confident that the C-5V has ample endurance to cross to Jiurope witnout a stop. There is a general belief at the Navy department htat Hm transatlantic attempt will be ordered immediately after arrival of the C-S at St. Johns and before the naval craft patrolling the Atlantic for the flight of the heavier-than-air machines, the NC-1 and NC-3, h4ve dispersed.
