Donward 3,056 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Parachutes for ships you say? An Alaska nonprofit is developing a massive underwater parachute for big ships The parachute has two key goals: to reduce the drift speed of a ship by 50 percent, and to steady the bow by turning the ship into the direction of the wind and waves. Stabilizing the ship makes it easier for crews to carry out repairs. In the successful Puget Sound test last summer, the inflated submarine parachute was hooked up by a long line to two tugboats that pulled full steam ahead, and they slowed to the point of essentially stopping. In September, the network plans to take the parachute out to the notoriously rough Bering Sea, off Alaska’s coast, to be tested on a loaded container ship. So in other words, they've made a big old sea anchor. Belesarius 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
