It’s the Fairest Curve that drives the Sailors and the Naval architects Mad …and incompressible water becomes quite displeased when it is displaced …the Hydrofoil being the latest rage amongst kiters and windsurfers and dingy sailors..and Zippy ferry boat operators …. So Cool to watch ..

The Royal Navy has more operational experience in the horrid conditions of the North Sea and above the arctic circle than other Navies… seems like the greatest testing site for foul conditions are quite close by … and designs can be shaken down close to home …is their a certain place they took new designs to see how they ran ..!?

@georgesoros6415 Excellent Point …. I hope Drach does a E boat episode or episodes there is nothing out there about those fascinating craft ….cause pound for pound they and the u boats really did a lot of damage … if Germany had started the war with 300 E and 300 U boats … it might have gone somewhat differently….?

Probably the coolest part of being at sea is watching the bow cutting through the ocean … and the bow of an Aircraft Carrier is impressive especially from 90 feet up on the catwalk … when the sea is glassy smooth

@evensgrey Exactly plus Foils are delicate… great if your on a Kite Board or small dingy … our Carrier routinely visited Naples Italy and they had those ferry’s zipping around on their Foils going to Capri .. but their is no way your getting a 60,000 ton carrier up on a Foil … yet … but even those new Zumwalt class are a big disappointment… plus they corrode to pieces … besides when your at sea the coolest thing is to go forward and watch the bow cutting trough the ocean ..
