Ships traveling at 15mph which is only about 17 or 18 knots will do 15 miles in one hour so in two hours how far has that ship gone?

The wake works on these factors.

Nuber of blades on propellor and size
Speed the propellor rotates
Wieght of the ship
Draft of the ship

This is something im learnding for my officer course.
