The Australian-built Tribal class destroyer Arunta, manned by an Australian crew, has successfully undergone her speed trials . She is the largest Australian-built naval vessel to be commissioned for twelve years. Tests demonstrated the vessel’s high turn of speed and remarkable manoeuvrability. The Ar unfa’s top speed was not disclosed, but the Tribal class destroyers in the British Navy are officially credited with a speed of 36 knots. The Arunta’s engines are also Austra-lian-built.
