6-7 knots
10-12 knots
17-19 knots -- +21 after the first attack
+24 knots -- the naval attack task forces (no troop ships)

Good rundown Tycho.
However, I'd modify it a bit from what I've experienced using the 3 minute rule and often running it to 6 minutes to be sure:
6-7 knots
8-11 knots
12+ knots
Reason being.. I just had a "task force" consisting of 2 big Euro Liners and 3 or 4 Destroyers which were labelled as 'fast' speed on my nav map. They were doing 12 knots. Also, I've seen plenty labelled as 'medium' speed doing 9 knots. Quite a few of them. I'm not sure if 8 knots should be slow or fast as I haven't experienced any 8 knotters yet.
I had "show contacts on map" for my 3 minute rule speed check and I was dead on with my shots on all of these.
