Whether 10 knots or 15, I want my boat to make it to it's assigned patrol sector and back to port (any allied port will do). ComSubPac says it can be done.
Quote:
Fleet submarines were designed for a patrol endurance of 8 weeks (56 days). Endurance was limited by personnel, weapon, food and fuel consumption considerations. Most patrols were of 42 to 56 days duration. Three boats made patrols of 80 or more days; BLACKFISH (Sellars), THRESHER (Middleton), and GUITARRO (Dabney).
