Hi Dan,

I was in Strike Operations during sea trials and we had a speed indicator in the space. When they reached 55 knots the indicator shut down and we were accelerating. It literally took a few miles to stop the ship when they announced "All Stop".

Russian (formerly Soviet Union) trollers would follow us everywhere. That little ship had more antenna and dishes than the carrier. Whenever we had "special" missions or "ops" we would pull away from the troller to get out of communication range.
