- TylerE 4y agoNot that unusual for transatlantic liner to be close to that kind of speed. They’re transport, not recreation. Titanic could hit almost 30.
- warmwaffles 4y ago> Titanic could hit almost 30. The better comparison would be the Olympia since she lived longer and did that trip far more times and was successful.

- TylerE 4y agoYou mean Olympic? Same design and specs as Titanic.
- gigel82 4y ago:) reminded me of https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/10c8ntp/the_titanic_never_sank/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/10c8ntp/the_t...
- warmwaffles 4y agoYes, my bad Olympic.
- moffkalast 4y agoThey say the CVN Enterprise was able to do nearly 50, I imagine you'd get straight up blown off the flight deck at full speed haha.
- TylerE 4y ago50mph wind really isn't that bad if it isn't gusty. Just lean in to it a bit. A flat deck isn't going to induce turbulence the way a traditional warship superstructure probably would have in those days.
- mrguyorama 4y agoMan, if the Navy's air wing was made up entirely of bush planes, they could all take off together without even starting up their engines.
- ghaff 4y agoThe Queen Mary 2 can supposedly hit 30 knots for a transatlantic crossing but, in practice, stretches out the crossing a bit.
- WalterBright 4y agoI remember being on the deck in that mighty breeze. Lost my hat :-) My mom had a death grip on my hand.
