For those who can figure this kind of thing out.

How much horsepower does it take to accelerate a 4,500 ton ship from 0-30
kts in 70 seconds?

Also what kind of prop(s)? As it also can stop from 30 kts in 800 yards!!

Lets, see no AIS and a very small radar profile, painted in a non-reflective
color traveling at 30 kts. I think this would be on top of you before you
had a real chance to see it under anything less than ideal visibility and
calm sea state!!

What next?

Cheers
