Flank speed is a nautical term referring to a ship s true maximum speed, beyond the speed that can be reached by traveling at full speed. Usually, flank speed is reserved for situations in which a ship finds itself in imminent danger, such as coming under attack by aircraft. Flank speed is very fuel inefficient and often unsustainable because of engine overheating issues. For example, the most economic speed of the Littoral combat ship is convert 20 kn lk in providing a range of convert 4300 nmi lk in ref http www.globalsecurity.org military systems ship lcs specs.htm Global Security LCS specs ref , and endurance of 215 hours. This ship has a flank speed of convert 50 kn but can travel only convert 1500 nmi at flank speed, exhausting its fuel in 30 hours. Thus, its flank speed consumes fuel over seven times faster than most economic. Other speeds include one third , two thirds , standard , and full . One third and two thirds are the respective fractions of standard speed. Full is greater than standard, but not as great as flank. Emergency may not be any faster than flank, but indicates the ship should be brought up to maximum speed in the shortest possible time. ref cite book title Watch Officer s Guide A Handbook for All Deck Watch Officers author James Stavridis, Robert Girrier publisher Naval Institute Press page 146 ref In surface ship nuclear marine propulsion , the differentiation between full speed and flank speed is of lesser significance, because these machines can be run at or very near their true maximum speed for virtually unlimited periods of time. ref http www.navweaps.com index tech tech 028.htm Speed Thrills III Max speed of nuclear powered aircraft carriers , Stuart Slade, 1999 ref In US Nuclear Submarine propulsion, full speed is 50 reactor power.

Image London broil.jpg right thumb 300px London broil London broil is a North American beef dish made by broiling or grilling marinating marinated flank steak, then cutting it across the grain into thin strips. The origin of the name is obscure the dish is unknown in London London, England . The cut Many American butchers will label a cut of meat London broil . This is confusing as the term does not refer to a specific cut of meat, but a method of preparation and cookery. The cut of meat traditionally used is flank steak , but in recent years butchers have erroneously labeled top round steak roast as London Broil. Because the muscle fibers run the entire length of this cut, the meat can be tough if not tenderize d via pounding or massaging. Scoring, stabbing, cutting, penetrating, or otherwise mutilating the cut before sending it into the broiler results in a tougher finished product as it allows all the desirable juices to run out of the meat into the pan. Preparation The preparation of London broil typically involves marinating the meat for several hours followed by high heat searing in an oven broiler or outdoor grill. In both heating methods the meat is placed approximately three inches from a direct heat source and turned several times to promote even cooking and avoid burning. It is then served in thin slices, cut across the grain. In Canada In Canada a ground meat patty wrapped in flank or round steak is known as a London broil. Some butchers will wrap the flank steak around a concoction of seasoned and ground or tenderized flank steak ref E.g., Zehrs Grocers in the GTA ref . Others sell a pork sausage patty wrapped in flank or top round steak labeled as London broil ref E.g., Goeman s Lakeshore Meats in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada ref . Another variant, popular in Ontario, is a London broil loaf , wherein the tenderized flank steak exterior is wrapped around minced and spiced veal as the filler.
