I paced/raced a Gef along the old Hathaway Bridge on my big Yamaha MC when I saw it start out from the Navy base and turned along the bridge route. I was just coming to the bridge at that point and had read in the newspaper that they ere capable of 70 mph. There was no traffic except me so I cranked the throttle as the GEF picked up speed. The GEF was accelerating also and I matched it for a short period then it started pulling away. When I hit 100 mph it was still pulling away and I had to shut down as I as at other the end of the bridge and the Gef was turning hard right as it was running out of water .
Wow!
And published “top speeds” for military vessels are less than actuals, routinely, going back to probably the beginning of time.
