Supercavitating torpedoes — such as the Russian Shkval — already travel at 200 knots per hour...It'd be more credible if it got basic information, like units of speed, correct.

Actually, 200 knots per hour is quite slow. Especially, since the running time is less than ten minutes.

a knot is, be definition, a nautical mile per hour.
“knots per hour” is landlubber talk.

Well spotted. But perhaps it’s like gravity, and they go faster and faster the longer they go ;-).
