... so we can assume that the speed of the DL28, the Tyrfing and the Bölthorn are classified?

Hmmm... yes and no.

I thought it would be more realistic not to mention their speeds (just missed MS2 both because I want them classified and because those ships are still on the slips and havn´t run any trials yet.
