Bucket ??
or do you mean nautical-miles perhaps??
or a knot ?
Knot (Nautical): The unit of speed equivalent to one nautical mile, or 6,080.20 feet per hour or 1.85 kilometers per hour.

she can do 28 knots easy on four screws.
has done 32 knots war emergency but the stern gets thrown quite a bit....
we did 22 knots full reverse on two screws burning good old fuel oil.
it is possible to ride the bow wave during a short run between Long Beach and San Diego, but the only person that ever tried was a fella on a Jet Ski near Seattle, but we ran him over eventually....a green peace chap. and we rescued him..
