Re: Current & Future Escorts - General Discussion
On an unrelated note, a little upthread lies a debate about the various merits of ASROC, ship-launched lightweight torpedoes and a reliance on helicopter-launched weapons.

Re: Current & Future Escorts - General Discussion
Here's an interesting paper from BMT and RR about pump jets on a frigate: great for high speed quietness and efficiency, not so good for low speed efficiency.
