All the things I read says that the heavyweight (torptub sized) UUV do about 3-4 knots with about a 30-50 hour endurance, iirc. What they don't say is that ANY uuv currently in existence has ASW detection capability and are really only suitable to mine recon.

Perhaps a very drastically reduced sensor capability with a 50+ nm range? That should make things interesting...
