I always thought ticons were so cool

>>34509840

That's a pretty cute boat.

>>34509808

Literally what is the point of this. Just to carry around a 0.30 caliber machine gun?

this thread stopped being about boats from the first post on

>>34513264
>he doesnt know about hydroplanes

Literally just go to the wikipedia article

>>34513264

It's a hydrofoil. As a hydrofoil craft gains speed, the boat's hull is lifted out of the water, decreasing drag and allowing greater speeds.

>>34513311
Huh. Wonder why there's no destroyer or carrier version of that yet.

>>34513336
because of the absolutely absurd power requirements of getting a ship up to that speed.

>>34513365
Nuclear power isn't enough? Stick a few more A1Bs in there!

BoaoB

>>34513336
Imagine the stress on the struts at destroyer sizes, and the speed needed to lift something that heavy.

>>34513412
nuclear power isn't magic. also for reference a Nimitz class carrier is 20 times longer than a Sparviero patrol craft and has 1600 times the displacement. a carrier would have to be going a ridiculous speed with a massive hydrofoil just to get any lift

>>34513442
>>34513534
Sounds like a design flaw.

>When you can't afford another proper carrier

>>34509772

I completely forgot about the Cyclone class. Seems like it'd be a neat ship to serve on. Do coastal patrol boats spend a lot of time at sea? How long can they be deployed?
