played no small pait in the dcsttuct

iog p’opaivd at the Philadelphia navy
yard for what naval officers say will
be one of the most unique target ex
pertinents ever attempted.
Proceeding unmanned, hut under
her own steam and controlled by radio
probably from seaplanes, the old <ea
fighter will become the objective of
the fug gun* of the Atlantic fleet sup
er dreadnoughts in t’hosapeake Bay
late this summer. This will be the
'n>t time that American war■'hip
nave used a moving craft for a target
except m actual war.
Two of the Iowa’s coal burning
bodei > are being converted to burn oil
-o the ship may continue under way
with no one aboard once her fires have
been started burning and her engines
placed in motion.
It i' expwte.1 that the .in <; i* prac
tice will ^ive the jrun pointers of th»
Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test
their ability under conditions a< near
