As hardware gets smaller, cheaper and also better performing the possibilities increase for autonomous vessels. Recently there is a lot of research going on with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Au- tonomous sailing boats fit perfectly into these ambitions. Challenges of Autonomous Sailing Boats Building and programming an autonomous sailing boat holds several challenges: • Hardware challenges: Equipping a robotic sailing boat with microcontroller, sen- sors, actuators and other special hardware needed (e.g. solar panels) is very difficult.

  • An Administrative History of PT's in World War II
    AN ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF PT’S IN WORLD WAR II OFFICE OF NAVAL HISTORY 15 February 1946 Recreated from microfilm by members of the PT Boat Message Board . PRELIMINARY ISSUE http://www.ptboats.org/cgi-local/sitenetbbs/netboard.cgi PLEASE VISIT THE PT BOAT MESSAGE BOARD AN ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF PT’s IN WORLD WAR II 3 (Recreated October 25, 2010 the members of the PT Boat Message board) Document Recreated, October 26, 2010 (From a microfilmed copy of the original Navy document.) This post World War II Navy document from 1946, has been recreated from microfilm copy by a group of PT Boat Message Board members from the PT Boats, Inc. website. All textural content has been retyped, charts redrawn, and where possible, photographic content has been replaced with a better copy of the same image or a very similar image. The format of the document has also been changed from the original 1946 typewriter style document to a more finish published book appearance. A detailed table of contents has been added, as well as assigning figure numbers to all photographs and charts with their page location listed at the end of the table of contents and as a final change the Appendices section has been page numbered. Although these changes have been added, the actual document content has not been changed except for obvious typographic errors. Because of the Lexicon and military writing style from the nineteen forty’s era; the content, spelling and acronym used can’t be verified. This recreation has been made as a historical note, making it more available for those with the desire to learn more about the World War II Motor Torpedo Boat service and its boats.

FOR SCALF SHIP MODELS The drawings described in this list have been produced to meet the needs of those wishing to build authentic scale models, and every care has been taken to ensure accurate detail. In the case of naflled ships they have been compiled from the original builders' plans and specification, personal survey of the actual vessel, or both. Where possible, any changes made during the life of the ship have been noted on the drawings, butt in cases where this has not been done, any information on the subject will always be welcomed. U NTEARABLE PRJ NTS The construction of a ship model is the work of several months or in the case of elaborate models, perhaps a year or !»>re. During all this time the prints are being constantly handled or subjected to rough use on the work bench, and soon become " dog-eared " or torn. This can be obviated by having their edges reinforced, and at the slight extra cost shown in the price list we can supply prints with at" untearable binding all round.

  • Motor Launches
    Motor Launches The engine room of a motor launch Motor Launches were a product of the war, designed to meet the demand for higher numbers of vessels to sufficiently protect the UK coastline. They were high speed, hardy, simple, and effective. This article explores their origins, construction, and some of their stories. This article has been researched and written by MAT volunteer Andrew Daw. Research Report Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War During the Maritime Archaeology Trust’s Heritage Lottery funded Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War project, scores of volunteers undertook online research into vessels that were lost off the south coast of England during the First World War. Their findings were used to populate the project database and contributed to Site Reports. Both are publicly available via the Forgotten Wrecks website. This Research Report was undertaken by one of our volunteers and represents many hours of hard and diligent work. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our amazing volunteers. Every effort has been made to trace the copyright holders and obtain permission to reproduc this material. Please do get in touch with any enquiries or any information relating to any images or the rights holder. The Story of His Majesty’s Motor Launches From http://navymuseum.co.nz/worldwar1/ The Beginning By early 1915, it was becoming clear that the naval war was not just about large fleets of capital ships and the potential for climatic battles across the waters of the North Sea, the Atlantic or the South Western Approaches. The advent of the submarine and its naturally covert deployment brought naval warfare to the coastal waters of Great Britain, threatening ports, seaways, local traffic and the economic issues of inter‐port transport and fishing.

(Christian Sheppard-Capurro photo) As a small boy, my father, a US Navy veteran of World War II, serving on SC-699, in the Philippines in 1944 through to 1946, would let me look through his old and cringingly and yellowed ONI-54 ship recognition manual. My favorite section was the one on Minor Combatants, which featured PT boats, Sub Chasers, the PGM (Patrol, Gun, Motor) or gunboat which was converted from the 110’ Sub Chaser hull. The one-page section also had one small photo of a small boat with a CG number on its bow and with a sailor manning a water-cooled .50-caliber machine gun, mounted on its foredeck speeding through the water. That photo was my first exposure to what I could come to know as the Wheeler Yacht Company-built 83-foot “Sub Buster” which was built for the United States Coast Guard just before and during the Second World War. As a Minor Combatant afficiado, I was naturally drawn to these craft. They reminded me of PT boats, but, without torpedoes. As I grew older, I delved into the histories of these boats.

Photo by Chris O’Neill First flown at Grumman’s newly established plant at Bethpage NY on 29 May 1937, the Goose proved to be an outstanding aircraft in both civil and military use. All models were built with variants of the 450hp P&W R-985 Wasp Junior engines. Goose production totalled 345 aircraft, ending in October 1945 at Bethpage. After WWII, military disposals Gooses were in high demand. After civil certification they were put to work in a wide variety of demanding roles, from hauling freight down the Aleutian island chain in Alaska, carrying holiday makers from Los Angeles area to Catalina Island 26 miles across the Bay in the words of a popular 1950s hit song. Others flew as executive machines, carring captains of industry to remote lakes for hunting and fishing. Numerous maintenance companies offered Goose modifications to improve performance or extend airframe life. Prominent among these was McKinnon Enterprises Inc at Sandy, Oregon, which marketed a range of upgrades, including turboprop engines. McKinnon models are detailed at the end of this listing.

Knight with Colin R.Smith. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 1001 G-21 NX16910 Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp, Bethpage NY29.5.37 G-21A (ff Bethpage NY 29.5.37) NC16910 Wilton Lloyd-Smith & Marshall Field III, New York NY: del.
