Edit: Failure... I still haven't found the info, Commander...
Speed was about the same as SHCE speeds. 'Bud' CO Skate also briefly mentions speed both surfaced and submerged in two of his videos - the *.SMK Bud video files sometimes called Smacker files can be viewed outside SH1 by any player that supports that format.

The graphic displaying speed is buried in my files too, I have it but where is it type thing. It also doesn't help that Hondo took Valor At Sea down a year or two ago - he may have had it.

Ducimus got speed right in later more recent TMO versions with his throttle settings based on patrol reports and a lost page with info on Kickinbak - another fine site gone.

Hope this helps old friends.
