ment
The inspection and trials were held at
Newport ana, including the time spent In
the competitive tests by a special board,
occupied II weeks. subjectng the boats
10 the most exhaustive series OF expert
monts ever made by the department
with this type OF vessel
The board devotes much attention to
the open ocean trial of the Viper, which
was selected to make a 9l-hour sea test
for the purpose OF determining the en-
durance OF these boats. The result was
"a complete refutation OF the arguments
that boats OF this type are suited only
for inshore duty. The performance OF
the Viper demonstrated that she has a
radius OF action OF 1000 miles without
coming INTO port or communicating with
any other vessel for period OF four
days.
All four vessels have exceeded their
contract requirements and their accept
ance is recommended by the board.
1t has been decided that when the boats
are commissioned Lieut.. G. Il. Courtney
shall command the Octopus. and Lieut..
