I don’t know...I know the top speed of our carriers is classified, but...having been on one going at flank speed and leaving damn near a rooster-tail, I have a hard time believing one of our carriers would be all that far behind it...:)

I think ACC’s have been doing over 60mph for decades and decades.

I spent 4 years on the South Carolina trying to keep up with Nimitz and Ike., the big boys are very fast, in fact the speeds announced in that article are not very impressive.

I wonder what it’s like to hit a whale at 50 mph.

Nuclear Carriers can do 50 MPH. That is a fact.
