Ganta Claug presented Secretary Daniels with a ten foot by two foot model of the battleship New York valued at $10,000. Navy officials say the detailed replica, built by the Bureau of Construction and Repair, will be exhibited in the department and demonstrates the ship’s fire control, guns, life boats, and other systems. The model highlights the cost and care of naval ornament versus utility, with criticism of spending in a time of Democratic economy.
