Displacement: 14,245 long tons (14,474 t)[1]
Length: 135 m (441 ft 6 in)
Beam: 17.3 m (56 ft 10.75 in)
Draft: 8.5 m (27 ft 9.25 in)
Speed: 11 to 11.5 knots (20 to 21 km/h)


Compare this with with the .cfg values:

MaxSpeed=10
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=24
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7000

Ofc, we all saw this ship running with 12-14kts, so the game takes the values from somewhere else that the sea folder. So.. this is a lost battle.

The speeds come from the .sim files for the ships.
