  Presenting a briefing on Destriero by Donald L. Blount President, Donald L. Blount and Associates, Inc. Chesapeake, Va

  Will present a briefing on In 1992 Destriero, a 68-meter 1100 metric ton gas turbine powered motoryacht, set a trans-Atlantic speed record no other ship has even come close to breaking. She traveled the 3106 nautical miles at an average speed of 53.09 knots. In her final 24 hours she covered 1402 nautical miles (average speed 58.42 knots), another record that still stands. Destriero remains a very impressive ship today, irrespective of technology advances since she was built. In fact, the hullform of LCS 1 is derived from Destriero's.

  The presentation will cover the complete development of Destriero, from feasibility of requirements through R & D, design and construction, and on to the record Atlantic crossing.

  By Donald Blount, P.E., founded and is President of Donald L. Blount and Associates, Inc. (DLBA), a naval architecture and marine engineering design office. He had previously worked 35 years with the Department of the Navy, 15 of them with the David Taylor Model Basin, followed by 20 years at the Combatant Craft Engineering Department (CCED). He was Department Head during his last nine years at CCED.
