Yes, but wouldn;t a modern lifeboat be preferable to a 50 year old
design? We need to upgrade at some point, why not now? The shuttle
is fork-tender - its a new era in US space travel and relying on that
rickety old Soviet ball in an emergency doesn't mesh with fielding a
brand new generation of heavy lift vehicle for the push towards a moon

Cavitation cleaning

dboh...@mindspring.com (Frogwatch) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:20:23 UT

Looking at a bin full of dead props at a marina and being told how
cavitation scours paint from them, it occurred to me that one might be
able to use cavitation effects to clean underwater structures. Use a
sound transducer to cause cavitaion bubbles and direct them toward a
close surface and they collapse and scour it clean. Thoughts?

Something I remember reading about "Alabama" is that her prop could be
pulled up for better sailing ability. After seeing the primitive
props on the ironclad wrecks at the Museum in Columbus, GA, I can
imagine Alabama's was an ungainly thing. How common was this in ships
of that era?

It sounds like the general thrust of the stuff discussed on here a
couple months back, it could be a neat "on call" rescue launcher!
