THE FASTEST WARSHIP. ‘‘The Times” recently reported, on the authority of its Lorient correspondent, that ‘‘the new French torpedo-boat Fougueux has just broken the speed record for her class in her official trials, having attained a rate of 36.33 knots.” .This is no doubt good publicity from the point of view of the builders of this destroyer, but is 36.33 knots a record? The fact is, as “The Times” itself recorded, that the destroyer Tyrian, designed and built by Messrs. Yarrow and Co., ‘‘obtained a speed of over 45 miles au hour, which Is practically 40 knots on an Admiralty four hours' official trial in deep water." This, it was added, was the highest official speed ever maintained by any warship in the world, and was only made possible by - the large amount of experimental and 'research work carried out by this firm.” It was stated that had the vessel been run in' shallow water,a considerably higher speed would have been obtained. That achievement Is a matter ot upwards of ten years ago.
