As razark said, ships can have speeds other than integer values. Even if you wanted ships to always have integer speeds, the speeds would be changing whenever they turned or changed speed. Weather would make them loose a little, sometimes.

I don't know why the game displays are so sloppy, but it seems to permeate the game. Like when you set your own speed to 10 knots, and your crew says it is 9 knots, or when you are rotating the hydrophone heads, the bearing indication can be either 0 or 360. The game seems to have trouble with rounding values.
