This is the link to the flight.

For this flight ground speed was very close to CAS.

If memory serves the target VNE was around 165 knots. For cert you have to demonstrate 1.11 VNE. Once the ship was flown the drag was found to be less than the most pessimistic drag analysis so the higher speeds are now being considered.
