A couple of comments; How are we going to do minesweeping? With robots deployed from FF/DD, rather than special-purpose, special-design, special-build ships with limited broader utility. part of the reason is that the minewarfare boats are small There are lots of reasons, such as the current limits ...
Supposedly, one of the ways Captchas are being defeated is that the images are harvested, then used as verification on certain "specialist" sites - with no actual verification of what is typed in - the resulting pairings of image and typing are then supplied back to the spambot industry, so "all" th...

Regarding VL-RAM; RAM has Lock-On-After Launch (LOAL) capability from Block 1 onwards anyway, so ...
Hi, This thing is that this: Moreover it is very usual to operate very very close to the coast: last studies are taking into account to launch UUV from subs to explore the the river mouths... Tends to negate the need for expensive solutions such as AIP. Operating a submarine in enemy coastal waters ...
OK, so I wrote a long answer but Youtube crashed my display drivers so I lost it. :-( Short form: H2/O2 module is 3m by 17.6m. Equipment inside is in acoustic enclosures so takes up more space. We actually thought it was a tight fit. Not necessarily the most efficient arrangement, but this was just ...
Hi, As Timothy notes, this sub doesn't need to carry a large amount of H2 or O2. It is only powering the UUVs, and it ended up with a couple of UUVs worth of storage, in case the production plant needed to be shut down. Internally the pressure hull containing the H2/O2 plant was subdivided into sepa...
