As it is necessary to furnish approximately 1200 HP for 4 hours to the generators for charging each of the two batteries at the normal charging rate, the time required for a full charge is excessive. This necessarily places a major handicap on the vessel's operation and decreases the value of the higher submerged speeds.

As far as maximum snorkeling speed, I doubt they could go above 6 kn., as greater speeds would likely damage the snorkel/linkages.
