Forty knots was promised a century ago in naval design
A 1900s era analysis notes the gradual push to 40 knot transatlantic speeds driven by turbine propulsion. It recalls Sir William Pearce’s boast of 40 knots, compares past ships like Lusitania and Mauretania with future potential, and discusses the practical limits of hulls, engines, and docks for such speeds. It highlights the Swift destroyer’s 36 knot contract and the gap between theoretical and real-world transatlantic performance.
