3721 mph, but that would be in a submarine, not on the surface, at sea
level, the nasa standard table puts SOS at sea level in daytime at 761mph...so that is what a surface vessel would have to achieve to break the sound barrier; even a displacement hull is still floating on the surface of th water, so it wold be subject to gas physics.A boat on the surface is exerting a fixed force on the water (in a perfect world), this force remains more or less constant, varying onle due to lift and loss of it while moving, this will not generate a fast enough shock wave through water to cause a "sonic boom" |
