I have to correct my response 1) above:

You CAN indeed get the Weapon Officer to make a speed estimate (hover over one of the command icons of him to see the info), but it appears that you have to know first the AOB and other data, so I don't think it's that useful or fast, and how precise it is I have no idea. It's possible that his calculation improves if you give him more 'points', it would be logic but here also: I don't know.
Sorry for the error, but I rarely use any crew help except ship ID from WO because it compensates the long searching in the ID book and bad flag visibility in the periscope (which all is realistic but tedious to play...)

About speed: I find that the Captain's Log messages saying '...fast...medium...slow' coupled with the ship type gives a good estimate to start with.
