That thc contract for the con-:
structioo of the great super dread
naughi. Pennsylvania, tenders on
which were opened ye itsrday. st*3|
be awarded to the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company
on its bid ot a little more than seven
million doUs sa foregone conclu?
sion. Not only did thc Newport
News Company submit thc lowest
tender off-red ? I7.236.CC0 ? for
-ind machinery, but it slso sub?
mitted the lowest bids on every type
of engine with which it would be
possiole to equip the ship?Curtis
-turbine. Par-on turbine and the old
style . reciprocating Curtiss tur?
bines arc contemplated in the lowest
bid.
For a hull equipped with Curtiss
turbines, trie Newport News Com?
pany bid $7,235,000. this estimate
contemplating e. gines without freers.
Tne tender tor the same engine with
| gears was $7,260,000. Thc New
York Shipbuilding Company bid
$7,396 OOO tor a hull equipped wtth
Curtiss turbines, and thc Fore River
Companv bid $7,312,000 for a hull
with Curtiis turbines, that being thc
second lowest bid. That was the
only tender submitted by the Fon
K.ver Companv.
The Newport News Company bu
-95.000 for a hull equipped wt tl
Parson's turbnes. while the Net
York Shipbuilding Company bu
$7.36*2.000 for a hui! with the sam
kind of turbines. Thc bid of th

gines. twin screws, the Newpo
News Companv bid$7,275,000; tl
New York Shipbuii | impae
bid $7.375.000 and Cramps bi
^.OOO. the highest bid mad
These figures show that whatev
type of en gi lc is selected by tl
department for the ship, thc lowe
bid tor that type will be that offer
by the Newport News Comps
and. since the Navy de par tm<
always awards the contract to 1
lowest bidder, it uecesj-aicily toilo
hat the ship will bc built at Nc
port News.
Ail builders proposed the requii
speed ot 21 kuots for the ship.
Not only will the Pennsylvania
the largest warship in thc Uni
States navy. but. so far as is kno
she will be the largest warship
the world, having a trial dispia
ment ot 31.000 tons, which
mean a full tend displacement
approximately 35.000 tons.
Tne big ship will measure
feet long over all. will have a brea
of 97 feet 5 inches, and a drat
28 feet 10 inches on trial. Thc \
sci will burn oil exclusive'?. ba
