For a commercial ship to travel at 20+ knots, they will have to be at "sea
speeds" which generally requires a 30-40 minute slow down period before
they can maneuver.....not hardly likely in the "Chessy" (not impossible,
just not likely).


I have tracked them in the lower bay with my radar. It's usually
pretty close.
