There are pictures at APG, bldg 314 showing a Goat in the Cheasapeake Bay,
they were not known for much free board. My Goat has an electric bilge in
the front, but the cargo compartment does not have one and when swimming the
driver does not have a view of the cargo section at all. My bilge is fairly
quit, no louder than a vacuum cleaner.
One of my co-workers at Test and Evaluation Command who worked at the then
called Material Test Directorate said they swam about the speed of walking,
maybe 2-3 knots.
