Did you solve the issue? And I also want to know how to increase the max speed of wamv on ROS2.

I tried to solve it but it's easier to just migrate to ROS2 at this point.

To increase the max speed of wamv on ROS2, you can edit the wamv_gazebo_thruster_config.xacro file. I edited the max_velocity_mps and thrust_coefficient value and it works. You can publish higher thrust cmd and it goes faster.
