QE2's average speed (service speed) is 28.5 knots.
A more interesting fact - however - is that the average speed over her entire 39 year service life - including time spent stationary in ports or when being refitted - was around 24 knots. This speed is actually faster than most cruise ships can achieve at maximum speed. The reason for QE2 having such a high speed is in order to be capable of maintaining a 5 night transatlantic crossing schedule - she needed 28 knots for that - but she needed more to 'catch up' if delayed, or caught in a storm etc.
The average speed of the QE2 (Queen Elizabeth 2) was around 28.5 knots (around 32.8 mph or 52.6 km/h).
The average shorthand speed is around 80-100 words per minute. Some experienced professionals can reach speeds of 120 words per minute or more. Speed can vary depending on the individual's skill level and the complexity of the content being transcribed.
The average speed limit in the United States is typically around 55-65 mph on highways and interstates, and 25-35 mph on urban roads. However, speed limits can vary greatly depending on the specific location and road conditions.
The average wind speed in the taiga biome typically ranges from 4 to 11 miles per hour, though it can vary depending on the specific location and time of year.
The average speed at which a human runs varies depending on factors such as age, fitness level, and distance. However, a common average speed for recreational runners is around 8-10 minutes per mile, while elite runners can reach speeds of around 4-5 minutes per mile.
The fish's average speed is 2 km/h, as distance divided by time gives you the speed which is 20 km / 10 hours = 2 km/h.
At the speed of a normal cruise ship, QE2 can move 125 feet per gallon. At her high speed service speed (28.5 knots) she can move 50 feet per gallon.
In her 39.5 years of service, QE2 travelled 6,000,000 nautical miles - a record that is unlikely to ever be beaten due to the speed and length of service that the great ship enjoyed. This calculates at an average of 152,000 nautical miles per year.

At her very fast service speed of 28.5 knots, QE2 can travel 50 feet per gallon. For a full calculation of her fuel economy refer to the following web page : Contrary to popular belief, QE2 was always economical, and even more so after she was re-engined with no-expense-spared state of the art diesel-electric propulsion in 1986-7. At the speed of a normal cruise ship, QE2 can move 125 feet per gallon. At her high speed service speed (28.5 knots) she can move 50 feet per gallon.
