LO - until the MPA can take off from the back of my frigate, speed will get the team on task quicker. If I'm 150nm+ offshore, and then a further 200nm+ from your airbase, an extra 300kts might get me an extra hour on task from each aircraft, reducing the resultant loading on the MPA Sqn in a sustained operation.
