BATTLESHIP IOWA
USED AS TARGET
Washington, July 30 The once
famous battleship Iowa, which played
no small part in the destruction of
Cevera's fleet at Santiago is being
prepared at the Philadelphia navy
yard for what naval officers say will
be one of the most unique target ex
periments ever attempted.
Proceeding unmanned, but under
her own steam and controlled by ra
dio, probably from seaplanes, the old
sea-fighter will become the objec
tive of the big guns of the Atlantic
fleet superdreadnaughts in Chesa
peake Bay late this summer. This
will be the first time that American
warships have used a moving craft
for a target except in actual war.
Two of the Iowa s coal burning
boilers are being converted to burn
oil so the ship may continue under
way with no one aboard once her
fires have been started burning and
her engines placed in motion.
