The values of speed and endurance can vary considerably between the design, as built and service states due to various factors, which usually have an adverse affect e.g. changes and additions in underwater and topside fittings, increase in displacement, carrying additional fuel above the normal design stowage, the states of the sea and the vessel's bottom.
The design figures are based on the vessel being at the design displacement with a clean bottom in calm seas. The service figures have been assessed as far as possible as those likely to have been achieved soon after going into service when carrying the normal stowage of oil fuel, with a moderately clean bottom in reasonably calm seas.
For convenience the classes are divided into two sections IIIA and IIIB to cover:

| Sold to South African Navy, 1920, to become General Botha | |
An Angry Crowd swarms around a small prison. Inside General Sajid Khan stares stoically at his captors. Responsible for genocide and the mass murder of thousands of people, the deposed Warlord is being held unil trial.
The guards scramble but Khan remains calm. One week later Naval Headquarters are told that there's an explosion on an Australian Cruise Ship. This is the second attack and no one knows who is responsible, although Kahn goes missing.
Captain Will Hanley discovers that Kahn has spent his considerable fortune on a renovated Russian Submarine, complete with nuclear missiles which he plans to launch at a city untouched by terrorism, Los Angeles.
Hanley manages to find Khan but the action culmintes in an explosive battle alongside a dangerous reef, where failure will have an unbearable cost.
