THE LOST SHIPS.

SOME VALUABLES UNITS. DESCRIPTIONS OF THR SUNKEN WARSniPS.

Following is a. brief vessels mentioned in. tlio official .. rft- } ports: — THE QUEEN 3CARY. The, Queen Mary belonged to tlio class, and differed littlo from iliat ves—j sol or the Princess Royal in go.nornl sign. Her longth was tlio same, 660 j fcefc, but lier beam was six inches.4 more, 89 feofc, wliilo on tlio .saino--draught of 2S feet tho displacement of! the Queen Alary to 27,000 tons, or 6f>o< tons more than cither tho Irion ol* .tlii>* Princess ltoyal. Tlio Queen Maiy was laid down by Messrs Palmer and Co_ Ltd., at Far- j row-on-IVno, on March 6th, 1911, aiidc| was launched on March 20th, 1912,-1 having been a fortnight, over twelve.' months on the stocks. Her boilers: and turbine engines, driving lour; screws and developing 78.700 horse- ; power, wero constructed by Messier John Brown and Co., Ltd, of Clyde--bank. On her trials and working at. tho horse-power mentioned the Queen. Mary attained a speed of 28 knots, and < actually worked up to nearly 30 knots. for short spells. At three-quarters of • hw power, sho easily maintained a* speed of 25 knots. The Queen Mary, liko ier sister ships, was armod with eight 13.5 m, sixteeit 4in, four 3-poundor and fivo mao-hino— guns and two submerged torpedo tubes. • Sho was protected by a belt of i)Ln steel 1 armour, extending above and below tlu> water lino. Above this belt sho was; protected by 6in armour. Her total' cost was £2,078,491. Her first commander was Captain * William It. Hall, who was appointed on July Ist, 1913, and who commissioned her at Portsmouth on September 4th, 1913, for servico witli tho First Battle Cruiser Squadron. Tho Queon Mary received lier "baptism of fire" in tho action in Heligoland Biglifc on August 28th, 1914. When steaming into action tlio Queen Mary and hor consorts wero attacked by threw submarines, but tho attack was frustrated by rapid manoeuvring. _ At 1.40 p.m. . tho Queen Mary was again attacked by ! a submarine, but -she avoided tlio at- • tack by the quick use of the helm, Tho Queen Mary was not present at tho | Dogger Bank action on Januarv 24th, 1915, when tho Blucher was sunk and three German battle-cruisers badly damaged. On October 31st, 1914, Captain Cecil I. Prowse, of tho Ihilco of Edinburgh, a sister ship of tho Black Prince, was appointed to command the Queen Mary, and ho was in chargo of lier up to tho end. Commander H. L. L. Pennell. who was in command of tho Terra Nova in Captain Scott's Antarctic Expedi-1910-13, and who -was in tho Duko of Edinburgh with Captain Prowse, was appointed to tho Queon Mary last year. yCar * THE INVINCIBLE.

The Invinciblc may bo described as "tho ship that deceived tho Germans." who proauced tho ill-fated Bluclier as a "reply" to her. Under tho 1905 programme three ships, described as "armoured cruisers,'' wore laid down, tho dotails of their design, being kept a profound secret. In tho meantime tho Germans built the Blucher, an armoured cruiser of 15,500 tons, ot' 25 knots, armed with twclvo B.2in, twelve 5.9iu. and sixteen 3.4 in guns. When particulars of the British ships were disclosed, it was found that they utterly outclassed every armoured cruiser afloat. Their high speed and heavy armament at once gave them the title of "battlejcruisers." Tho threo ships were l tho "Invincible, Indomitable, and Inflexible. The Invincible was a ship of 530 ft in length and 78ft 6in beam, displacing 17,250 tons on a draught of 26ft. Her armament comprised eight 12in, si-s teen 4in, and five machine-guns, anil • live submerged torpedo tubes. She was protected by a belt of armour 7in in thickness, tapering to 4in at the ends.; above the belt the thickness of tho armour was 3in. Her total cost was £1,728,229. Tho Invincible was laid down by Messrs Armstrong, Whitworth and Co., at Elswick-on-Tync, ou April 2nd, 1906, and was launched on April 13th, 1907. Her turbino engines, developing 41,000 horse-power, gave her a maximum speed on her trials of 26.65 knots.

Captain M. E. F. Kerr was appointed to tho Invincible on September Btli, 1908, and he commissioned her at Portsmouth on March 20th, 1909, for scrvico in tho First Cruiser Squadron. Captain R. P. F. Purcfoy was appointed on March 2Sth, 1911, and she was recommissioned on May 16th. 1911, for , samo scrvico. Captain M. Culine-Sey-mour was appointed May Ist, 1912. Tho • Invinciblo was transferred to the Mediterranean in August, 1913, Captain H. B. Pelly (now of tho Tiger) being appointed to her. As hor electricallycontrolled gun-mountings proved unsatisfactory, the Invinciblo was paid off in March, 1914, for a long re-fit, hydraulic power being substituted for electricity. Tho Invincible was nest heard of at the Falkland Islands in company with tho Inflexible, as flagship of Vice-Ad-miral Sir F. C. D. Sturdee, in the action in which tho Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg, and Leipzig wcro sunk. The Invinciblo was commanded by Captain Percy H. T. Beamish. THE INDEFATIGABLE. The Indefatigable was a similar sliijr to tho Invincible, but larger and improved in several respects. She was the name ship of a class of three battlecruisers, hor sister ships being tho New ] Zealand and Australia. The Indefatigable was 555 ft in length and 80ft beam, = with a displacement of 18,750 tons on • a draught of 264 ft. In armament, ■ speed, and most other respects she wis i almost identical with tho Invincible. The Indefatigable was laid down ;n the Royal Dockyard, Dcvonport, on February 23rd, ISO 9, and was launched eight months later. Captain A. C. Levoson was appointed to tho Indefatigable on January 17th, 1911, and ho commissioned her on February 24th, 1911, for service in tho First Cruiser Squadron, Home Fleet. Captain Chas. F. Sowerby was appointed on February 24tli, 1913. and ho recommissioned hor on June 17th, 1913.

THE DEFENCE. The Dcfcnce was a sister ship to tho Minotaur, which formed one of tho escort of tho New Zealand Main Expeditionary Force in 1914, and to thy Shannon. Sho was 490 foot in length, with a beam of 74 feet 6 inches, and displaced 14,600 tons on a draught of 20 feet. Sho was protected by a belt of Gin armour, tapering to 4in at the ends, with Sin armour for her heavy guns and 7in for the secondary armament. Her total cost was £1,383,744. She was laid down at Pembroke Dockyard on February 22nd, 1905, and launched on April 27th, 1907. Hor reciprocating engines driving twinscrews developed 27,570 horse-power on hor trial trips, giving her a maximmu speed of 23} knots.

Captain F. Dampier was ap- | pointed to tho Defence on November j ICtli, 1908, and ho commissioned lier | at Devonon February OL];. 1909. to i replace the Achilles in the Fifth Cruiser! 1 Squadron. Transferred to First Cruiser Squadron July, 1909. Captain H. H- ' I Bruco appointed January 12thj 1911. ; IR-ccoinmissioned .at Dovonport..Febr •-}

Devonport for same service September 2nd, 1913, and since transferred to North Sea. Cantain Eustace La T. Leathain appointed October, 1914. THE BLACK PRLNCE. The Black Prince, a sister ship of the Duke of Edinburgh, was an armoured cruiser of ]3,00U tons displacement, 490 ft in lengtli, with a beam of 73ft fiin. She was armed with six 9.2 in, ton Gin, and twenty 3-pounde r guns and four torpedo tubes. Her protection was a belt of 6in armour, tapering to 4in and 3in at the bow and stern respectively. Her gun positions were protected by Gin armour, and above the belt there was another strake of oin armour. She was laid down at the Thames Ironworks on June 3rd, 1903, and launched on November Bth. 1904. She was fitted with reciprocating engines of 23.939 horse-power, and on her original t' i.ils she attained a spued of 23.00 knots. .The Black Prince was commissioned in reserve on March 17th, 1906, Ly Captain B. Currev, with the nucleus crew of the Aboukir. She was completed to full crew on March 27t,h, to relievo 11.M.5. Bedford in the Second Cruiser Squadron, and joined the Squadron in June. Captain R. P.

Gilpin-Brown appointed April 10th, 1913. Recommissioned at Portsmouth same service, April 21st, 1914. THE WARRIOR. The Warrior was an armoured cruiser of tue Achilles class,' to which belonged the Natal, which was destroyed by an explosion somo months ago. She was oi the same dimensions and displacement as the Black Prince, but she carried an armament of six 0.2 m and four 7.oin guns instead of six 9.2 in and ten Gin guns. Her cost was £1,186,395.

'1 ho Warrior was Jaid down at Pembroke on November oth, 1903, and launched November 2oth, 1905. Caplain A. W. Waymouth appointed November 20th, 1906.

THE DESTROYERS. The Tipperary was one of the six largo torpedo-boat destroyers which were, ordered in 1913 by the, Chilian Government from Messrs J.. S. "White and Co., East Cowes. Only two of the ships had been delivered when the war started. , The remaining four were taken over by Britain and re-named Tipperary, Botha, Broke, and Faulklior. Theso ships, since they were commissioned, have been employed as destroyer-flotilla "leaders." The Tipperary was 320 ft in length and 32ft 6in beam, displacing 1850 tons on a. draught of lift.. She was fitted with turbine engines of 17,000 horse-power, giving her a speed of 31 knots. She was aimed with six 4in and two ma-chiiie-guns and three torpedo tubes. The Turbulent, which is also officially reported sunk, does not appear in any list of ships. She is one of:the many new destroyers built and commissioned since the war started.

The" Ardent was a destroyer of 935 tons displacement, 260£t in length, and 28ft beam, with turbine engines of 24,000 horse-power, giving her a speed of 29$ knots.- She was built in. 1913 by Messrs W. Denny and Bros, at Dumbarton. Her armament was three 4in guns and two torpedo tubes. The Fortune was. a similar ship to the Ardent, having the same length, "but a foot less beam, affd a displacement of 952 tons. She was built in 1913 by the Fairfield Company at Govan. Her engines, of 25,000 horsepower, gave her a speed of 30 j knots: Her armament was similar to that of the Ardent. The. SpaiTOwhawk was a destroyer of 935 tons displacement, 260 ft in length, and a beam of 27ft. She was built in 1912 by Messrs Swan, Hunter, and Wigham, Richardson, at New-castle-on-Tyne. Her engines, of 24,500 horse-power, gave her a speed of 30J knots, and she was armed with three 4in guns and two torpedo tubes. The Shark was a sister ship of the Sparrowhawk and the Spitfire, which were aH built in the same yard. Tho Nestor and Nomad wore two new destroyers of the "N". class, all of whom have been built since the war started. No particulars of these ships are available, out they were probably about 950 tons displacement, with a speed of 30 knots, and an arnuiment of three or four 4in guns.

' THE GERMAN SHIPS

THE KAISER. CLASS. The Kaiser class of Dreadnought battleships numbers five, namely: Kaiser, Kaiserin, Konig Albert, Frederich der Grosse, and Prinzregent Luitpold. Their p/incipal features are as follow: —Length 564 ft 3in, beam 9oft 3in, giving a total displacement of 24,310 tons, on a draught of 27ft 3in. These ships, • which belong to the 1910 programme, •wero built at Kiel, Hamburg, and Danzig, the Kaiser, Kaiserin, and Prinzregent Luitpold at Kiel, and the others at Hamburg and Danzig respectively. Tho Kaiser was laid down in 1910, launched in 1911, and commissioned in 1913. _ The armament of these ships comprises ten liiin, fourteen 5.9 in, twelve 3.4 in, and four light guns and . live torpedo tubes. They are fitted with turbine engines of 28,000 horsepower, giving them a speed of 23 knots. The Kaiser class, like all German battleships, are very heavily armoured. Their chief protection is a very deep belt of Krupp armour, 13|in in thickness for a great part of its length and . tapering to oin at bow and stern. Above tho" main belt the armour is "in in thickness, and the protective decks are • 3in in thickness. o THE BATTLE-CRUISERS. Of tho three German battle-cruise, s two are believed to have been tho . Derfflinger and Lutzow. The third may have been either the new Hindenburg .or tho Seydlitz. The Moltkc was torpedoed; aid believed to havq been sunk in the. Baltic last year, though this has been denied bv the Germans. The Derfflinger and Lutzow were very je.;ously damaged in the action of January ,'24tb. 1915, when the Blucher was

The Dcrfflingor and Lutzow w-. 0 sister ships, built at Hamburg and Danzig respectively. 'j'hey were i.iuiiciit-a in 1913. and completed some time after the war broke out. Their principal features are:—Lengtli 700 ft. beam 96ft. giving a displacement of 28.000 tons on a draught of 27ft. Their turbine engines, r?aid to be of 100,000 horse-power, gave tiiem a speed of '28 knots. Their armament was eight I2in. twelve 5.9 in, and twelve 3.-tin guns and four torpedo tubes. They were protected by deep belts of Tin armour, the guns being protected by lOin steel. The Seydlitz, built at Hamburg in 1911-13, was slightly smaller. Her length was 656 ft. and her beam 93ft Gin, giving a displacement of 2460 ton* on a draught of 27ft. Her turbine engines are said to have given her a speed of 29.2 knots. She was armed with ten llin. twelve 5.9 in, and twelve 3.4 in gnns and four torpedo tubes. It is believed that the Hindenbnrg which was only commissioned a few months ago, is a sister ship to the DerfHinger and Lutzow. The Moltke was a sister ship to the notorious Goeben. 22,640 tons displacement. built in 1909-11, and armed with ten llin, twelve 5.9 in, and twelve 3.4 in guns and four torpedo tubes. Her speed was 28 knots. THE GERMAN DESTROYERS. "When the war started, there were 144 destroyers in the German Fleet, many of them old and verV small. It is probable that a large number have been added to the Fleet since August, 1914. Up to 1907 none .of the German destroyers wa s larger than 530 ft. and those built between 1907 and 1914 ranged from 550 tons .to 640 tons displacement. It has always been the German practice to limit the size of destroyers to the above-mentioned tonnage. The speed of most of the enemy destrovers ranges from 22$ up to 32] knots. Their armament—unless the ships built since August, 1914, have been given larger guns—was very light, consisting of two 23-pounder and several machine-guns, with three or four torpedo tubes. It is probable that the destroyers -which accompanied the High Seas Fleet last "Wednesday were of the latest and latest type, say. about 650 tons and 32} knots witli the armament already described.

LOSSES COMPARED.

BATTLE-CRUISERS AND ARMOURED CRUISERS. BRITISH AND GERMAN STRENGTH. In view of the loss of the Queen Mary, Indefatigable, and Invincible and the three armoured cruisers, it is of interest to show how the Royal Navy now stands in respect of these classes of ships. The battle-cruiser squadron has reduced to seven ships, as follows:— Ship. Tonnage! Main guns. Lion ... 26,350 eight 13.5 in Tiger ... 28.000 eight 13. Gin Princess Royal 26,350 eight 13.j ; n Now Zealand... 18,800 eight 12in Australia ... 18,800 tight 12in Inflexible ... 17,250 eijght 12in Indomitable ... ■ 17,250 eight 12in The sinking of the Black Prince, Defence, and Warrior brings our total losses of armoured cruisers up to j.O, and leaves 23 still on the active list. The armoured cruder is a type which has fallen into disfavour since the battlecruiser, and the fast, light cruiser has usurped its special functions. TVo Minotaur, Defence, and Shannon were the last of the armoured cruiser type properly so-called built for the Royal Navy.

As regards the German strength in battle-cruisers, the position is somewhat doubtful. The ships of this class built, for the German Navy, so far as has been disclosed, are as follows:— Ship. Tonnage. Main guns. Blucher ... 15,500 twelve B.2in Von tier Tann 18,700 eight llin Goeben ... 22,640 ten llin Moltke ' ... 22,640 ten llin Sevdlitz ... 24,(540 ten llin Lutzow' ... 28,000 eight 12in Derfflinger ... 28,000 eight 12in Hindenburg (?) 28,000 eight 12in The battle-crniscr Salamis, which w;-s being built in Germany for tlip Greek Navy when the. war started, has.probabfy lueen. completed and commissioned. She is a vessel of 19,200 tons displacement and 23 knots, and was to have been armed with eight 14in and twelve 6in guns. The Blucher was sunk in January, 1915; the Goeben has "belonged". to Turkey since August, 1914; the Von tier Tann has been reported lost; the Moltke was torpedoed in the Baltic last year, but the Germans have denied that she was lost. It is known that one of the 28,000-ton ships was blown up last Wednesday, another badly damaged and disabled, and a third seriously damaged. When the war started Germany had eight armoured cruisers, of which s'x have been reported to have been sunk— I namely, Friedrich Karl. Gneisenrri, Scharnhorst. Prinz Adalbert, Yorck, and Prinz Heinrich (?), leaving only two of this class in the German Fleet.
