For those of you guessing at how I'm going to calculate target speed, it's purely based off a single visual contact. It has nothing to do with the hydrophones, or waiting several minutes, or guessing it based on bow wake. It's honestly quite simple once you think about it. Feel free to keep guessing though!

The size of the bow wave. Some of you with sailing experience have probably heard the term "She has a bone in her teeth"...which refers to a vessel making good headway, thus a bigger bow wave. A slow moving vessel produces very little foam.
In real life you can make a rough guess as to speed based on the size of the bow wave. In a simulation or at night...that could be a bit tough!
