French
shipyard CMN has just released a video showing its HSI32 Interceptor
reaching a maximum speed of 53 knots. This is an amazing and rare achievement
for a military vessel since it translates into 61 Mph or 98 Km/h ! We
reported a couple weeks ago that the HSI32 already reached the
speed of 47 Knots during its initial sea trials. |
