Oh man! You did the math! My last math was figuring the super elevation of the launcher for a drone kill. That was 25 years ago! SWOs don’t DO math!

Destroyers are in the range of exceeding hull speed slightly, by partial dynamic support, that is, sorta almost planing, a bit. You can see this allowed for in the afterbody of the Forrest Shermans, for instance.

As far as carriers go, I think the original Lex and Sara, designed as electric battlecruisers in 1916, are still the fastest carriers ever built.
