An item referred to the magazine le Yacht reporting the launching by Normand of the French destroyer Cavalier (1) just like her predecessor Chasseur (2) fitted out with 4 Normand boilers although only fuel oiled. The machinery consisted of Parsons turbines. It now became to possible to compare the differences between coal and oil fuelled boilers while it became clear that the Chasseur on her trip from Cherbourg, France towards Toulon, France had a very high coal consumption.
