Pretend I know what I'm writing.
I did my time on a diesel boat and a nuke. Generating power on a diesel/AIP is always about the minimums. Nukes generate power like its going out of style. Nukes can also run high bells for as long as the crew can stand it.
Getting back to Australia, the Pacific is freaking huge. Its not the same ball game as putting around coastal Europe.
