I guess? Never been in the navy.
Because where meaning is concerned, wahnsinnig and waanzinnig are equal in German and Dutch.

In the Kriegsmarine there was never a "wahnsinnige Fahrt".
The proper command was 3x Aüßerste Kraft which could be translated as 3x all ahead full. It demands to put all power generators to use for forward movement.
In my reading this "wahnsinnige" is derived from the dramatic cry of the captin in "Das Boot", maybe it was sometimes used in real uboats. But I suppose only as an emotional phrase.
And indeed "Wahnsinnig" translates to "mad" or "crazy" like "It make me mad" or "He is crazy"
