Question

How long was Cousteau's Calypso (ship) and what was her top speed?

Answer 1

She is 42 meters long, weight 360 tons, top speed 12 knots

I would say that is close. I say 139 feet. That is my understanding. 10 knots is my understanding of the top speed, which is rarely achieved. Painfully slow. I was a diver on Calypso and write about it in my book Frogmen.

Got my info from the internet you know if it's on the internet it has to be true lol

Answer 2

Depends on how long a British Minesweeper was... probably close to 231ft depending on the class of minesweeper it was. Speed, was probably around 17kn or 20mph, based on some googling.
