How fast is a knot, anyway
Hey Guys - Hope this isn't too stupid,
but how fast is a knot? I downloaded the specs on the US SUBMARINES
NOMAD model and it says that it will travel 3.3 hours submerged at 5
knots. That is the same speed that the little ambient SportSub is supposed
to be able to travel. That seems somewhat slow for a Million +
dollar vehicle. Is this normal for a sub? Is it "fast enough" when you are
actually underwater, or is the NOMAD all show and no substance?
Thanks,
Greg
