Bježao je munjevitom brzinom od projektila 27 sati.The USS Abraham Lincoln is a **nuclear-powered aircraft carrier** with a top speed of **over 30 knots**.
### Speed conversion
* **30 knots ≈ 55–56 km/h**
### Time to travel 1000 km
[
1000 \text{ km} \div 56 \text{ km/h} \approx 17.9 \text{ hours}
]
**Approximate time: about 18 hours**
### Real-world considerations
In practice, it might take **18–22 hours** depending on:
* formation speed of the **carrier strike group** (escorting ships usually limit speed)
* sea state
* operational conditions or stealth considerations
* flight operations on deck
When traveling with its escorts (destroyers, cruisers, supply ships), the group often cruises closer to **20–25 knots**, which would make **1000 km take roughly 22–27 hours**.
If you want, I can also tell you something interesting: **how long it would take a carrier strike group to cross the entire Mediterranean or the Atlantic**—the numbers are quite surprising.
