Take all this with a grain of salt.  The aircraft carrier I was aboard was supposed to have a top speed of something like 27 knots but turned 43 knots while I was aboard.

Yeah, well the LCS classes are supposed to bee the fastest, when they aren't broke down...

I would expect the capabilities of the most capable and important vessels to be understated for security reasons.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
