First of all amazing post Sergei, truly.

Second every time I see and hear "Extreme Speed Ahead" I'm reminded of this :

plus our boat accelerates so fast that it might as well be going to Ludicrous Speed

It is probably a result of the translation of a phrase that was wrong to begin with. In fact, you're not far off with your comparison.

In the German speech they say "Wahnsinnige fahrt voraus" which means "crazy/senseless/mad speed ahead", actually it pretty much does mean "ludicrous speed ahead!"

The German navy did not use that as far as I know. Rather the command would be "Aüßerste fahrt" or " N x Aüßerste fahrt"

Ah I remember that from SH3 (as I am sure others here do!)
Thank you for the clarification Turbografx.
I guess it is one of those things that does not translate well.

Extreme speed... everytime i saw it it just made me tried

So... i decided to find out on how to change it:

You can change this and all the other speed call-outs to whatever you like by editing the file:

\Silent Hunter 5\data\Menu\menu.txt

Search for "1010=All stop" and you will see all the call-outs for the different speeds. Just edit the text to your liking for the different speed settings and save the file.
