A splendid fete will'be. held at Oastellamare to celebrate the launch of the ironclad lialia, said to be the largest war vessel of the kind ever yet built. In length she measures 122 mhtrpa (400 ft,), and is 15 mhtrea (50ft.) in height at the bow, and 17 mhtres (56ft.) at the stern. Her total displacement will be 14,000 tons—4ooo more than the Duilio—her length being 65ft. greater than that-of the latter enormous war ship. As the Italia is at, present standing on the slips amidst a forest of « shores’’ and beams, her full bulk can be seen, and she how produces a more imposing effect than she is likely to present when floating, fully accoutred, in the water. A peculiarity of the Italia’s construction is that the keel and its adjuncts are flat, like a raft, this shape being adopted, it is said, to give the vessel a comparatively slight draught of water, and thus enable her to attain the speed of 16 knots ah hour, two knots more than the estimated velocity of the Duilio) The Italia’s plates, it may be added, are 21in. thick, with a strong teak and zinc backing.
