extracted text (Extract Text): OUR latest dreadnought, the Tennessee, is one of
the largest war-ships afloat.

The vessel is somewhat different from other ves-
sels of her type. Instead of having her bcilers
grouped under one four-sectioned funnel, they are
distributed over a wider area and protected with
additional horizontal armor.

Our naval constructors, profiting by the lessons of
the war, have placed the controls of the director
firing system far above the scene of big gun hits, on
the top of the cage-masts.

Notice the double-section funnel in the fore-
ground.

One half of this type of funnel could be shot
away and the other half would still be able to do
the work of both.
