Better to rant the crap out of her in the Bristol Channel and spend a week back on the blocks than to to give her an easy ride and then discover a problem 600 miles out into the Atlantic or 12 miles off the Libyan coast...

If the trials draft is too lightweight then speeds achieved may never be seen again once she is loaded to operational draft. It is always interesting to have trials speeds extrapolated to operational speeds.

Fastest she'll ever go i guess!"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
