"I don't think you can extrapolate this as speed doubled at 100% shaft due to cavitation, exponential increase in water and wind resistance, and such. Lets just say that much better than 31 knots it is."
You're absolutely correct on that.
Top speed for a Nimitz would, if the planets were aligned correctly and every thing else was in congruence, MAYBE 42 knots, and that's a healthy maybe.
