Scope and content
The Viper's coal consumption trial has gone well, at 31 knots she has achieved the lowest coal consumption of any destroyer. She is due to go out again to test consumption at 32.5 knots. The Cobra has one more trial 'before being handed over'. He anticipates that at Wallsend they should be able to produce machinery at reduced cost due to specialist equipment.
