Well, the hull, with her fittings and equipment, runs into about a million. Such a ship is protected by some five thousand tons of steel armor, which costs about £120 per ton. The 'boilers you may put at £350,000. Each barbette, with its two monstrous 13,6 guns and the complicated machinery, means an expenditure of at least £120;000. Even the small twelve -pounder guns cast £350 apiece. Such a ship is provided with a' number of motor and steam boats; which east thousands of pounds, and with torpedoes at £1,000 apiece, fired from tubes which each mean an outlay of £3,000. Her magazines are filled with shells, of which the largest are valued at £170 apiece; while her bunkers are stored with best steam -coal costing about sixteen shillings a ton. Her searchlights, of which she probably carries fourteen, and her electrical fittings entail a further expenditure of fifty to sixty thou- sand pounds. A Warship's Life a Short One. Within less than twenty years she is hopelessly out of date, Indeed, modern invention moves so fast that even the fine King Edward class, which was built just before the first, Dreadnought, are oonsid- ercd by experts to have compara- tively email fighting value. If the use of oil fuel becomes universal evert the Dreadnought herself may be. considered useless within a few years. And an oat -of -date warship is simply worth her value as scrap metal, She must be sold at a ruin- oua, sacrifice. To give one or two exempla: The first-class cruiser Galatea, which cost £292,000; and had another £48,000 spent on re- pairs, went at auction for £11,150.
