Speed Minimum LWL 10 55 20 220 30 494 40 878 Assuming that speed is in mph or knots and LWL is in feet, that doesn't feel right. Destroyers do 40 knots without the length of a cruise liner, but they don't look like planing hulls to me. compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_and_H_class_destroyer Onno _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
