The newest British destroyer: H.M.S. "Nubian", 1909. 'The new 33-knot destroyer "Nubian" completed her official speed-trials the other day, and has now returned to the yard of Messrs. John I. Thornycroft and Co., at Woolston, Southampton, for completion and commissioning. The contract speed was greatly exceeded during the trials, and it was proved that the consumption of oil fuel at full power was very low. Owing to her increased armament and other details, the "Nubian" displaces about 100 tons more than the first vessel of her kind, built by Messrs. Thornycroft (H.M.S. "Tartar"); but the speed she has attained is barely less than that with which the "Tartar" is credited. She is electrically lighted, carries a powerful searchlight, and has a wireless-telegraphy installation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
