I keep failing missions because I do not complete them on time. I think I am going too slow. I stay at 5 knots most of the time trying to be as quiet as possible.

In Dangerous Waters how fast can a Seawolf, 688i, Virginia go before it starts being detectable? Not talking about cavitation but speeds below that threshold.

Is 5 knots the same as 10 or 15 knots? I am using DW with the RA mod.
