I swear dudes were going way faster than just 2x
There are global effects and there are sub specific effects. The Admiral's 25% boost to all sub is a global effect and these DO stack. So 2x Admiral will have all subs going at 1.5x or faster with aid from a specialist.
A helmsman is a sub specific boost (the sub you have the helmsmen in) and will double the speed of your normal subs. In the case that you have 2x Admiral then the helmsmen will double your standard speed of 1.5x to 3.0x. A smuggler would increase it from 1.5x to a massive 4.5x.
However, having 2 helmsmen, smugglers, admirals, pirates, lieutenants or generals (or any combination) in the one sub will not give you multiple bonuses on top of this. You get the bonus from the specialist that gives you the biggest bonus.
So, calculate your base speed by determining how many admirals you have. And then add the largest specialist bonus on top to calculate your speed.
