AFAIK the reason people stick to 10kts, is because that's the speed used to calculate a subs cruising range. Like "11,000 miles @ 10 knots (surfaced)" for the Gato-class.

No what i did was speed time up to 8x then play with the speed and press the button that gives you range at selected speed. I found 9kts was the best for the fleet boats
