Those are the "official" depths and speed. US government releases those for any new sub now. most likley is this:

Virginia: Depth: ~1600 ft.
speed: ~42-45 kts max

Seawolf: Depth: ~1900 ft
speed: ~34-38 kts max

goatland (had to spell it like that): Depth: ~900-1100 ft
Speed: no more than 30 kts

Ohio SSBN: Depth: ~1100 ft max
Speed: ~30-32 kts max
