A Congress of Warships

ARMY AND NAVY

A Congress of Warships

The largest naval display ever held in North Pacific waters will take place in Puget Sound on July 27. On that day President Harding, returning from Alaska, is scheduled to sail from Vancouver to Seattle. Some 45 units of the Pacific fleet will assemble.

Among the number will be 14 dreadnoughts. The Maryland (now completing her big gun calibration tests off the Virginia capes) is expected to reach the Pacific by that time and to act as flagship.
