Certainly what sounds outrageous at one time, new tech easily 
achieves.................example:
Any of the truly outstanding American 'Iowa' class battleships could (and 
did) march anywhere across the Worlds oceans at a sustained 35 knots.
Fuel consumption, or more so, keeping these ships fuelled, a limiting 
factor.
To tell those Navy people back then, what nuclear power, in their very near 
future would allow makes Mr Pelmear's mill nothing major.
