normal displacement-that is, they are
loaded until they displace as much water

to a shorter trial, under conditions far
more favorable to the making of good
speed, and they are usually, if not al

than They would have when on naval
duty. Even under these circumstances
they often have difficulty in reaching the
speed expected of them.
