DEVICE TO STABILIZE
CRUISERS IS TESTED
The series of 10,000-ton eight
inch cruisers which recently have
developed defects, in the stern
post castings also are so unsteady
that special effort must be made
to reduce the amount of roll in ad
verse weather, it was stated orally
July 20 at the Department of the
Navy.
Experimental work with special
equalizer tanks to distribute the
load more evenly and with “bilge
keels” which will have a braking
effect in a heavy sea has been de
termined upon, it was explained, >
in the effort to make these ships
more steady gun platforms. Fur
ther oral information made avail
able and reported in the United
States Daily follows:
Changes have been ordered for
the Pensacola and Northampton,
the latter of which was one of the
five cruisers which recently have
been discovered to have faulty
stern post castings which consti
tute a “serious defect.” The de
sign of the seven cruisers now be
ing built has been changed in the
hope of remedying this condition.
