This book was released on 1990 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance characteristics of the U.S. Coast Guard 110' Surface Effect Ship (SES) CGC SEA HAWK and 160' U.S. Navy SES-200 are documented and compared. Engine performance in calm water and side-by-side rough water sea keeping performance tests were conducted in the Atlantic Ocean south of the Key West, Florida. The SES-200 ride control system was evaluated in the seaway. THe NASA Ride Quality Meter and Bruel and Kjaer Human Response Vibration Meter are compared and were used to document the discomfort level and human fatigue on board the SEA HAWK.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface Effect Ships (SES) can operate hullborne like displacement ships or they can operate in a cushionborne mode by pressurizing the region between that catamaran hulls with air. The air cushion exerts both a lift and a drag force on the hull as it moves over the water surface. The drag force, known as cushion wave making drag, represents a significant percentage of total SES resistance and hence, the required propeller thrust. Selection of cushion length-to-beam proportions is a fundamental part of SES design because the ratio of these dimensions determines the wave making resistance characteristics. The Navy has been conducting research on the effect of length-to-beam proportions on SES performance, seakeeping and maneuvering. This balanced performance is attributable to shifting the peak of the high wave drag region known as 'hump' outside the operating envelope. The name 'High Length-to-Beam SES' has been given to these vessels to distinguish them from the previous generation of Navy SES which had lower length-to-beam ratios and had to be propelled through a high drag speed regime in order to retain efficient cruise speeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sea mines have been important in naval warfare throughout history and continue to be so today. They have caused major damage to naval forces, slowed or stopped naval actions and commercial shipping, and forced the alteration of strategic and tactical plans. The threat posed by sea mines continues, and is increasing, in today's world of inexpensive advanced electronics, nanotechnology, and multiple potential enemies, some of which are difficult to identify. This report assesses the Department of the Navy's capabilities for conducting naval mining and countermining sea operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced energetic materialsâ€"explosive fill and propellantsâ€"are a critical technology for national security. While several new promising concepts and formulations have emerged in recent years, the Department of Defense is concerned about the nation's ability to maintain and improve the knowledge base in this area. To assist in addressing these concerns, two offices within DOD asked the NRC to investigate and assess the scope and health of the U.S. R&D efforts in energetic materials. This report provides that assessment. It presents several findings about the current R&D effort and recommendations aimed at improving U.S. capabilities in developing new energetic materials technology. This study reviewed U.S. research and development in advanced energetics being conducted by DoD, the DoE national laboratories, industries, and academia, from a list provided by the sponsors. It also: (a) reviewed papers and technology assessments of non-U.S. work in advanced energetics, assessed important parameters, such as validity, viability, and the likelihood that each of these materials can be produced in quantity; (b) identified barriers to scale-up and production, and suggested technical approaches for addressing potential problems; and (c) suggested specific opportunities, strategies, and priorities for government sponsorship of technologies and manufacturing process development.

Book excerpt: In late June 2005, media sources recounted the tragic story of nineteen U.S. special operations personnel who died at the hands of insurgent / terrorist leader Ahmad Shah- and the lone survivor of Shah's ambush-deep in the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan. The harrowing events of Operation Red Wings marked an important-yet widely misreported-chapter in the Global War on Terror, the full details of which the public burned to learn. In Victory Point, globally published author and photographer Ed Darack reveals the complete, as-yet untold, story of Operation Red Wings (often mis-referenced as "Operation Redwing"), and the follow-on mission, Operation Whalers. Together, these two U.S. Marine Corps operations (that in the case of Red Wings utilized Navy SEALs for its opening phase) unfurl not as a mission gone terribly wrong, but of a complex and difficult campaign that ultimately saw the demise of Ahmad Shan and his small army of barbarous fighters. Due to the valor, courage and commitment of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Marine Regiment in the summer of 2005, Afghanistan was able to hold free elections that Fall. Here is the inspiring true account of heroism, duty, and brotherhood between Marines fighting the War on Terror.
