Am I hearing this correctly when I issue a specific speed?

Fahrt gedreht, <nummer> knoten.

Specifically 'gedreht', it's the only German word that I can see as being closest to what I'm hearing.

Hey there, what they say is Fahrt beträgt, (Number) Knoten! beträgt is a word which is afaik not 1:1 translatable into english.

Excellent, exactly what I was after, thank you.

I understand the usage of the term, things being context driven. In this case loosely equating to 'amounts to'. Set 'drive' to (amount to/make for) <number> knots. For that to be one word is quite... efficient.

Thanks again.

p.s. it was pain to search for, as phonetically I initially was hearing 'betracht', which made no sense.

As a follow on, does anyone have and able to share the exact German phraseology used in the SH5 speech?

Some of it is a little too quick for me, but I wish to understand precisely what's being said, in German.
