I like...

6 or 7 for slow (I favor 6)
8 or 9 for medium (I favor 8)

...and I've been guessing 16 at fast and haven't had much luck. Any recommendations there would be welcomed.

Fast can only be a tanker or a warship afaik.
A tanker I would guess 10 or 11.
Warships can be anything between 9 and...35? 40? I don't know.

Yeah I've also seen lone cruise ships hummin along at 16, but you're right about the tankers. Probably good guess for the Type IX cap'ns cruisin the Carribean.

When I've seen "task force" as the contact plot I've tried 16 and I haven't had much luck with that guess. Maybe 22? I think part of the problem is the blasted things are turning pretty tight patterns.
