Daniels Declares Our 14 Inch Guns Excel All Others
Washington May 3 Critics who claim the American navy s fourteen inch rifles are inferior to the British fifteen inch type mounted on the Queen Elizabeth were answered in a statement by Secretary Daniels. He says the bureau of ordnance has developed a fourteen inch gun that will shoot farther straighter and hit harder than any gun in use or known to be designed by a foreign country. The Pennsylvania main battery of twelve fourteen inch weapons will penetrate armor at 12 000 yards and range a little farther than the British fifteen inch. The navy has built data showing a sixteen inch gun could supersede both but would reduce number of guns on each dreadnought.
