NEW GERMAN CRUISERS ARE WORLD'S REST Three Warships Set High . Mark in Efficiency and Operations Range. BY KEITH JONES Halted Pres* Staff Correspondent LONDON, June s.—Recently revealed details of the Radius of action and offensive and defensive capabilities of the new 6.000-ton German cruisers Koenigsberg, Karlsruhe and Koeln have amazed British naval experts, and convinced them these three German vessels are far superior to anything in their class in the world. Each of the new cruisers has a radius of action, using steam only, of 5.500 miles at fifteen knots. But running on Diesel engines alone they will be able to travel 18.000 miles without refueling. This far exceeds the cruising performance, without refueling, of any other warship in the world.. It gives them a strategic performance entirely disproportionate to their tonnage. Armament Is Powerful This further is enhanced by an exceptionally powerful armament consisting of nine high-velocity 6-inch Krupp guns each capable of firing eight rounds a minute, or twentyfour rounds per turret a minute. There are three turrets, and the cruisers, therefore, each are capable of hurling shells at the enemy at the rate of seventy-two 105-pound shells a minute. Against such a rain of steel and explosives only the most heavily armored vessels could hope to survive. New Marie for Efficiency In addition to the 6-inch guns, the cruisers are equipped with four 3.4-inch semi-automatic guns for use against aircraft, and the unusual number of twelve torpedo tubes. To withstand heavy puishment the armor belt covers the waterline and a thick steel deck lies over the machinery and magazine spaces. Numerous water-tight compartments provide more than the usual protection against shells or torpedos finding their way home below the water-line. According to British designers, the Diesel engines used in the three vessels set an entirely new mark for efficiency and low weight, developing one-horse power for each twelve pounds of weight. This is barely one-third the weight of Diesel engines ordinarily employed for marine purposes. They also are remarkably compact. In Class by Themselves This fact becomes more evident when it is realized that the Diesel engines were installed only as an after-thought. Yet’ ample room was found for their installation, and by this clever stroke the Germans created three cruisers with a radius of action in a class wholly by themselves. These engines, it is pointed out, would enable the three vessels to make a voyage from Germany to the far east and back without refueling—a feature that is viewed W’ere as of no little significance.
