ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: InfoMan ORIGINAL: thompsonx Imagine that...just as I said previously. So at issue is that either hull speed is not the final arbiter of speed or the 'fantasque' class destroyer never existed. Jesus you are phoquing stupid Hey look at that - you got proven wrong, Roflmfao...when asked to show your work you were full of excuses as to why you could not do it. We are still waiting. You just proved that the french destroyers of the 1930's could not go as fast as they have been clocked. By the same metric you now claim that amerikan aircraft nuclear carriers can't even go as fast as 80 year old diesel powered boats. Jesus you are phoquing stupid. See - you are twisting words to prove your own ignorant statement right... The truth is this: The French Destroyer was a Semi-Displacement hull and thus the Speed/Length Ratio is NOT 1.34... The fact that you used 1.34 without understanding why you're using it just shows your ignorance on the subject. As a semi-Displacement Hull, the SL Ratio can be double the value you presented - and matehmatically i believe the upper SL Ratio limit for a Semi-Displacement Hull is ~3.1. This means that the equation could very well be: c = 3.1 x √434 producing a Hull Speed for that vessel of 64.5 knots. An Aircraft Carrier on the other hand is Not 'Semi-Displacement' what's more - it is intentionally manufactured to prevent it from cutting or planing which is what allows semi-displacement or shallow draft ships to go as fast as they do - this is achieved with a large bulbous bow node, which produces more drag keeping the bow of the ship firmly under the waves (most the time)... but because of that, it's SL Ratio is lower - Many large scale ships can only achieve a 1.1 SL Ratio. so despite having an extremely long hull, the equation would be: c = ~1.1 x √1040 for vessels like the CVN-70 Aircraft carrier - with it's Hull Speed being only 35 knots. You see - and this is what's going to happen. Despite being presented with information that proves you wrong... you're going to say either 'Cite' or twist a single aspect of the above information into something which you think proves you right, then claim that you're correct and that those that are arguing against you are wrong. You're going to move the goal posts, branch the argument, and keep digging that rabbit hole because you can't ever let yourself be wrongn
