Hey. I think you touched on an interesting topic .. When the authors talk about the war in 2030, and Innovations, which will be then. The fact is, the game of its kind - maritime strategy in real time requires knowledge of the mass of the technical parameters of missiles, sonar, artillery guns, torpedoes, and the like. But look at the moment we have limited knowledge on this subject. Due to the fact that the weapons of the future. Base-in-arms, types of ships, boats, submarines must exist in the games of this class. Unfortunately, it still does not. Perhaps it is hidden information of developers. I think the players to the war in this way - like digging in the sandbox. Have a nice day.Anyone wants to speculate about real top speed of new ships and submarines?
it was before, and as will be in the future?Max speeds for a frigate or destroyer range from about 26 to 35 knots, an aircraft carrier would be about 30 to 35 knots, a small fast attack craft may reach 40+ knots and a normal small ship (eg a mine hunter) would be from about 14 to 20 knots. As the top speed of individual ships is classified there is no way of being 100% accurate.
Submarines are a whole different level of secret though and so there is no real way of knowing their true top speed.
Unless some radical new power generation technology comes along then yes.it was before, and as will be in the future?
The Fletcher class had about 60.000 shp and displaced 2500 tons fully loaded which equates to 24 shp/ton.My grandmother (yeah, you heard me right, LoL) got to go on a trial run aboard a Flight II Arleigh Burke DDG. When they opened her up on the high seas, they taped a piece of paper over the gauges so the speed they were traveling couldn't be seen since it is classified. She said the ship was throwing a rooster tail half the height of the ship behind it. That is fast for such a large ship, real fast. My grandfathers Fletcher class DD in WWII would do 33 knots, so I don't see why a modern or future Burke couldn't do 40, probably closer to 45.
Outside of FACs and small corvettes, water jets are still very much the exception.Newer ships do not have propellers they run on jet stream. I wonder if that is quieter than having a propeller and the effect on speed.

Yes? That's two classes built to the same specification, so like I said, exceptions. In fact, the only other largeish warship II can think of is the South African MEKO class which uses a combination of props and waterjets.The new LCS runs on water jet propulsion and they are a BIG ship.
