What speed for a SSL?

Good stuff Engines.

Any idea what kinds of airspeeds are we talking about for a B doing a SSL at sea? Yes I get it could vary considerably with weights and conditions, but rough idea?

I imagine the QE class will be able to generate good wind over deck in most climates, and I was impressed with the short field landings I have witnessed up close with B's at Pax River. Perhaps a SSL would be a bit more sporting on a LHA/LHD (or Invincible), but looks like there is a good more room on a QE class.
