<HTML>Hi, Théo,
Normaly, a slow (speed) convoy sails about less than ten nautical miles per an hour, on water level, but, with the different ways and heads to escape to submarine warfare, the real speed on the botton is near five or only six NM/H.
Fast speed convoies sail about 15 nm/h on water but in this war time, only a few lot of merchant ships sail upper than 12 nm/h.
Remenber, at surface level a sub sails near 16 nm/h and only 5 to 7 under water with electric power. If she sails more speed, the time of poursuit is shorted because of the capacity of electric battery.
Regards</HTML>
