ok its going to depleate the batters very quick but that boost of speed could be used for emergencys.

A WWII Gato (A boat with Diesel Electric so its running electric motors when surfaced) could make something like 21 and a half knots on diesels pushed beyond spec. You put sufficient power in to the motor you can get some real speed at the risk of burning up the motors. A burned out motor is better than flaming crushing death at times.
