Knot is a nautical mile per hour in its usage as a measure of
speed. It equals roughly 1.15 mph.
Considering that many
tugs operate in the
range of 8 to 9 knots,
the image of the WWII
carrier Soryu hitting 35
knots on her trials in
1937 is stunning and
almost breathtaking.
This is what 10 - 11
knots looks like, almost
deceptively calm.
