Skybird the critical piece of information you ommited is how long it took!My guess a ouple of weeks.I am sure they would not run down the English channel submerged.
The most important ting about speed is noise.There is no point being quick if you are noisy and cannot hear anybody else.
The reason the RN went for pumpjets was noise-their missions emphasised noise reduction not speed.
