Default Submarine speed and journalists...

From the Subsim front page...

Like all attack subs, the Texas will carry torpedoes, mines and vertically launched Tomahawk cruise missiles. Its stated speed is a vague "in excess of 25 knots," though it is widely known that attack subs can travel underwater at twice that speed.

Really? :hmm:

(of course, not ALL attack subs carry vertically launched missiles either)
