Navy warships sustained 50 MPH 44 knots for 4 hours
- jws 17y agoApparently the AP is opting out of the WWW. I just get a page that directs me to their customers. But some googling later: It was 44 knots, into a 30 kt headwind and 6-8 foot seas. The things have both diesel and turbine engines which apparently operate in tandem for top speed. I looked for the fuel burn rate, but only found that sprint range is 1500nm compared to 4300nm at 20kts.
