Flank speed is a nautical term referring to a ship's true maximum speed but is not equivalent to the term full speed ahead. Usually, flank speed is reserved for situations in which a ship finds itself in imminent danger, such as coming under attack by aircraft. Flank speed is very fuel-inefficient and often unsustainable because of propulsion system limitations. The related term Emergency may not be any faster than flank, but indicates the ship should be brought up to maximum speed in the shortest possible time.
Other speeds include one-third, two-thirds, standard, and full. One-third and two-thirds are the respective fractions of standard speed. Full is greater than standard, but not as great as flank.
In surface ship nuclear marine propulsion, the differentiation between full speed and flank speed is of lesser significance, because vessels can be run at or very near their true maximum speed for a sustained duration with little regard for fuel expended, a top consideration of oil powered ships.
Full Speed Ahead is an R&B studio album by Táta Vega. It is her first solo album and was released on Motown's Tamla label in 1976.
The album was produced by Trinidadian native Winston Monseque, who was also her manager. In a November 1976 interview, Vega cited "Try Love from the Inside," "Try God," and "Music in My Heart" as her favorite tracks off of the album.

USS Ranger Goes Flank Speed to Somalia
After being told we were not heading to Somalia, the next thing we knew all flight ops were cancelled, we turned south and the plat showed classified for our speed. I went up on deck after breakfast and this is what I saw. We were being shadowed by an Iranian ship the entire way out of the gulf. The ship out in front of us was the USS Valley Forge.
