The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships[1] and NavSource Online [2] give Terrier's speed as 22 miles per hour, implying statute miles per hour, an unusual unit of measure for the speed of a watercraft. It is possible that her speed actually was 22 knots. If 22 statute miles per hour is accurate, the equivalent in knots is 19.
