their speed will not be above twenty-eight knots.
All Of the boats Will have turbines instead Of the
ordinary reciprocating engines The designs have
been arranged that either the Curtis or the Par
sons type may be installed. This be done in
the case OF the desroyers. where a cruising or
economic speed is not necessary. The motive
