You need to look for them using S3D as Keltos stated. It is not one big list of items, they are grouped. Any group that can be opened will have a + sign next to it.

Let's do the Max Speed.
1. Open S3D
2. File/open Subname.sim
3. Find Unit_Submarine
4. click + sign
5. Select the entry that opens (it is the controller and is also named Unit_Submarine)
6. On the right side, Click + beside "Unit_Ship"
7. Click + beside the Propulsion
8. Select max_speed=
9. At the bottom of the page is a "Value" box, change value and hit enter
10. Save. Close.

There is also a max submerged speed that is inside the "E_Propulsion" (Electric Propulsion)

You can look around at all the items in here, but work from a backup file, do not overwrite the original or sooner or later you will be reinstalling the game.

Now with Notepad you need to open the Subname.cfg file and set the "MaxSpeed" to match what you set with S3D.

.dat, .sim, .zon, .val, .dsd, .cam open with S3D.

.cfg, .upc, .upcge, .eqp, open with Notepad.
