Pre-refits, they made 45 knots. Post-, ~37 knots.

Note how much more power-efficient French design is.

Guess this means Shimakaze was just... too slow.

Well, need to take the numbers for the Tashkent's with a big ole grain of salt. They completely destroyed their machinery in their trials to get that speed once and never did it again.

Sounds like the Bras D'Or. She can't even hit flank speeds without damaging her own keel.

Maury's trial speed is mentioned on the page for the Gridley-class. Not on her page, for some reason.
Also, the Le Fantasque-class dropped to 37 knots post-refit.

Do you have source for that? I'm genuinely interested. And in any case, for ship-girls legend is actually more important than the facts

You were thinking it. We all were thinking it. One of the construction dude's is even pointing it out!

It wasn't her keel that she damaged actually. Bras d'Or went so damn fast that her hydroplanes could not take more then three runs before they literally would disintegrate under the sheer stress they were under. Her unclassified top speed was 63+ knots. Not "63 Knots", just "63+" though there's been mentioned that she went above 70 Knots, her true top speed is still classified. Though this was without the weight of weapons. Of course, it should be pointed out that she was designed for ASW work and that the idea of her high speed was both to get to where a Sub was sighted to try and sink it and to outrun torpedoes launched at her.
Though she, uh, might be more of a "Stripperboat" then Shimakaze...

Or have another fashion quirk... something hydroplane related... maybe some sleeves like the Kongou sisters?

Well, it's been established that "showing your anti-fouling paint" is the shipgirl-version of "upskirt", so....

1. French or British?
2. You're part of the Commonwealth, so Jersey's probably lumping you in with the Brits.

Bras d'Or: Well, screw all of you, eh.
Haida: Don't mind them, just remember that they were fucking shit at anti-Submarine tactics at the beginning of the war until they finally listened to us. After all, there's a reason that the "Second Happy Times" happened when they entered the war.

Haida: Considering that we helped you get there? The legs of the lander were made in Canada and the lander itself was designed by a Canadian. Also, how many of you made a rock music video in space? Hmm?
Haida: Hopefully it was not one of those bottles of piss water that the Americans call "Beer". Because then, my God, is she ever a light weight.

American ships were dry boats. So use your own judgement.

Hilariously, Canadian ships only became dry boats (and only at sea!) last year or so.
