The speed calculation is only as good as your data input. ID the ship correctly. Get initial data and send to TDC. Wait about 10 seconds (over simplified here) and take the data again and send to TDC. At this point click on the little watch button and see what the attack teams says. I do this three to four times until they come up with the same kts twice. This is what I use as the speed.
