Now thats wash.......

How fast? Mmmm....
Don't be fooled by the ridiculous amount of water she's throwing around.
I don't think she's any faster than this one, which isn't actually that fast (28 kts or so).
 
Probably in the low 30's it just seems to be digging a deep hole.

The ex collonies do not understand flag etiquette or decorum .

Flying it in the wrong place and totaly out of proportion.

[/ QUOTE ] Isn't it a Battle Flag, which you put up when going into action? In this case, they were obviously on a mission to get the aircraft carrier to roll in their wash /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

She's the USS Gonzales, an Arleigh Burke destroyer. One of the early ones, capable of 32kts.

However, looking at the way she's squatting and dragging up the sea behind her, I would say that she is being limited by shallow water effects (prob depth about 30-40m in relation to her draft of 9.4m). She's going flat out, but probably only making about 26kts.
