Greit Britain's Largest and Heaviest
• Warship Launched. •
A despatch from Portsmouth,
England, says: The St. Vincent, the
arges and comes es p ever
built for the British navy, was
launched successfully here on
Thursday. Thee weather was -Tule
andtheget, smooth, -sand a great
crowd saw the vessel take the water.
As the warship slipped from her
blocks she was christened by the
Countess Beauchamp.
Counting the three cruising bat-
tleships of the Invincible class, the
St. Vincent is the eighth vessel of
the Dreadnoughtstype to be launch -
o1 in this country. The Admiral-
ty has observed its. usual reticence
with regard to the details of the
design and construction of the St.
Vincent, but from certain figures
that were given out it is manifeat
that the experience gained from the
fildion of the Dreadneughb
has been utilized in this vessel. It
is believed that .4 -eine of the addi-
tional 'Weight of the St. Vincent is
o be accounted -for hy heavier ar-
mament for protection against tor-
pedoes, and by improvements giv-
mg greater security to those con-
trolling the movements of the ship
while in action.- A number of for-
eign naval attaches attended the
launching, on the invitation of the
Admiralty.
The St. Vincent was laid down in
December of last year. She is sup-
posed to be of . about 10,250 tons
and her cost has been given at $9,e
500,00.
