SPEED RECORD BY H.MS. ACHILLES
There appears to be no doubt that H.M.S. Achilles has establish- ed a world's record for long-dis- tance steaming at high speed by a warship of her class.
If the Achilles followed straight course from Gibraltar to Portland she traversed 1.100 nautical miles, and to cover this distance in 39 hours she had to maintain an average of 29 knots. or about 33 statute miles per hour. No man-of-war of corresponding tonnage has ever before approach- ed this fine achievement.
A few years ago the U.S.-air- craft-carrier Lexington covered
the 2,228 miles from San Diego (Cal) to Honolulu at an average of 30.7 knots, But whereas the Lexington is a ship of 33,000 tons with machinery of 180,000 h.p.. tony. .the Achilles is only 7,000
with engines of 12,000 h.p. Hex performance is, therefore, much the more remarkable of the two. The Achilles has proved her. self a faster ship than the Ger- man liner Bremen, the holder of the Atlantic blue Tiband. In March, 1930, the Bremen crossed from Cherbourg to New York (3,- 157 miles) at an average of 27.91 ots, which is more than a knot cruiser's less than the British
average between Gibraltar and Portland.
We understand that at no period of the Achilles's run was the mia- chinery forced in any way.
