Connecticut Battleship Leads U S Navy's New Twin Giants
A detailed 1905 profile of the battleship Connecticut and its sister Louisiana, twin first class ships built under a Congress plan. It notes private and government yard competition, rapid construction gains, and the ships' immense armament, armor, and long range. It highlights the Connecticut as largest, most powerful, and nearly complete at the Brooklyn Navy Yard with advanced bulkhead doors and all necessary comforts for a crew of 800 plus.
