Sounds right for a Radar contact.

Anything stating its "Very Fast" is a plane, no matter which type of sign the Nav Map may display. The only ships that may be found in-game to qualify for the "Very Fast" speed is a PT boat, but its rarely used....if its used at all. The only time I've ever seen the PT boat in action has been with one of the stock games "Sub School" missions. At that time the PT boats are only going about 8 kts.
