Official SEOW

Good morning and Happy New Years!

I'm working on some navigation training material for campaigns flown on Pacific Theater maps where there is little/no land references. I'm trying to determine the actual speed capabilities of ships and the limitations based on ships that have lower speeds when grouped as a task force.

Was wondering if you can explain how to properly read the speed settings that are described in the object tables?

Object_Type Object_Class Speed
Carrier0 SAC 56000
HMSFormidableCV SAC 56000
HMSIllustriousCV SAC 56000
HMSIndomitableCV SAC 56000
IJNAkagiCV SAC 57000
Tanker2 STR 18000

Hi Thud,

The best thing to do is look at the Number_Name field for each ship type. This is the ship maximum speed in metres per second. To convert it to km/h multiply the Number_Name by 3.6. The Speed value you list in your post is expressed in metres per hour, so Speed = Number_Name*3.6*1000 .

In SEOW internal code, I think Number_Name is used for waypoint calculations. All ships have Object_Class starting with "S".

As always, thank you for your help.

Hello Thud,

I saw that you ran a Slot Oct 43 campaign like us

Thank you Pa-Dore. We are really enjoying the new SEOW Maps, especially the Pacific ones.
