Started a new career in Sargo class USS Sailfish. Ahead standard is giving me 16 knots and a range of about 4,000 miles. This seems a lot faster/shorter than it should be. Going to 1/3 or 2/3 does not increase range at all. My references show an advertised range of 10,000 miles at 10 kts.

Now doing a Balao. Standard is 14 kts and 4600 miles.

How do I get my long ranges back?
