Does spok and captain Kirk drive that thing?

The USS Detroit is supposed to be able to do 50 knots from what I've read. So I'd say Scotty is down in engineering making her go.

It's a jet boat

No diesel Handy! Powered by Rolls Royce gas turbines. Company I work for supplied the couplings on this too.

From the Lockheed/Martin web page for the USS Detroit:

Detroit’s two diesel engines combined produce 17,370 horsepower. Derived from railroad locomotives, these engines together produce more power than 35 semitrucks.

4 water jets implies that they have both gas and diesel.

Handymans342 · October 2016
