BIG ASSET OF U.S.
MEMPHIS COULD CRUISE HALF
WAY AROUND THE WORLD
WITHOUT REFUELING
WASHINGTON. March 9. (/P)—
With a speed equalling the average
of fast passenger trains, a horsepow
er equal to that of the Leviathan,
and a length as great as the height
of the Washington monument and
245 feet greater than the height of
the Statue of Liberty, the light cruis
ers of the American navy now on
duty in Nicaraguan and Chinese wat
ers are among the principal assets
of the United States fleet.
One of the cruisers, the Memphis,
is typic^J of her sister ships. The
Memphis was commissioned in 1925,
after being built at a cost of approx
imately $11,000,000. It is 550 feet
long, with a 55 foot beam and dis
placment of about 8,000 'tons. Its
100,000 horsepower oil burning engin
se have developed a speed of 35
knots, or nearly 40 statute miles an
hour. The vessel could cruise on her
maximum fuel capacity half-way
around the world.
In addition to a battery of 12 six
inch guns in casements, with a twin
six-inch gun mounted forward and
another aft, the Memphis carries four
anti-craft guns, six torpedo tubes, j
mine-laying equipment, two airplanes
which may be catapulted into the
lir at a speed of 60 miles an hour,
and equipment for laying a barrage.!
rhe range of the six-inch guns is 12
miles, and an armor-piercing shell of
105 pounds can be hurled. The range
)f the torpedoes exceeds six miles.
