A drag-mauler is the largest of the cruiser class of ram as well as the fastest type of ram, making from 14 to 16 knots. The fastest speed reached by any ram was achieved by the Scythe, 18½ knots in a fair wind with all limbers to the screw.
Drag-maulers are typically used for escort duty and also act as kraultrekkers, thus they are armed with more lambasts than other ram types.
