| In the next stage, twin-screw vessels were built according to two domestic designs. Six foreign yards and the domestic Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino were asked for bids. The S.T.T. and Palmers at Yarrow each was awarded a contract, but it soon was obvious that the realization of the design was nearly impossible. Palmers’ Planet did not obtain the contract speed of 20.5 kts and had 40 tons surplus displacement. For its part, S.T.T. flatly stated that it was unable to execute the design, and one went back to the drawing boards. Although the new vessel, the Trabant, also failed to attain the contracted speed, the navy nevertheless accepted the design. | |
