ORIGINAL: Real0ne Not really. You are confusing 'actual' speed and or velocity with 'apparent' speed and or velocity. Both speed and velocity are condition dependent. So you appear to be correct in the resultant, (that actual time from a to b varies on conditions), however your explanation using speed and velocity is not correct. No, i am not. I am saying the word 'speed' commonly associated with naval vessels, such as 'Full Speed' and 'Flank Speed' is not an actual measured velocity of forward momentum. Instead, these 'speeds' are actually apart of the old engine order system which is telling you how fast to spin the screws. Or in the case of nuclear powered vessels, at what % you run your reactor at. The point was that the way you the terms velocity and speed was not correct, no big deal unless you want to make it one. on the other note I agree that screw speed, horsepower, or kwh used does not relate to the actual departure arrival times.
