[NOT CMO ISSUE] Tacview gives nautical speeds in Mach
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2020 12:19 pm
See the pix.
In this particular example (there are many other situations), the torpedoes are shown as having a speed in Mach fraction.
Now, we can get into a debate about the speed of sound in water and whether or not the Mach fraction shown is even correct.
Regardless, the speed of torpedoes, ships, and submarines would more appropriately be given in knots.
