electricity - What is the speed of electrical current in salt water?


I am wondering about a specific question regarding the speed at which an electrical current traverses through salt-water / saline.


By this I do not mean the electron drift speed - I mean, at what speed would a current travelling from an anode to a cathode immersed in salt water be?


A ball park figure will do. Thank you.
