Nevertheless, the ship incorporated major advances over the earlier designs, including large-scale use of welding in her construction and a significantly more efficient propulsion system that gave her a cruising radius fifty percent larger than that of the older ships, which proved to be quite useful on the extended training cruises of the 1920s and 1930s.
尽管如此，该舰还是从早期的设计中取得了重大进步，包括使用大规模的焊接施工和显著更高效的推进装置，使其巡航半径较旧舰提升了50%，这对于在1920－1930年代进行的扩展训练巡航相当重要。
