Biggest Dirigible Planned by Navy
Washington Feb 11 Congress considered a 2.5 million appropriation to build the largest dirigible in the world. Captain Thomas Cragen said the craft would be fifty feet longer and cost about 500000 more than the English test ship, with sea construction taking twelve months and yearly maintenance around 500000. The airship would use helium gas and carry greater armament than any other nation’s, needing about 2700000 cubic feet of gas for inflation.
