Powering the 21st-century fleet
Article Abstract:
Contemporary warships feature segregated propulsion and AC electric power distribution systems which suffer from serious flaws despite the fact that they generally work well and are reliable. The most significant of these is the inability of such systems to maintain power continuity when and immediately after a ship suffers a hit. Rather then relying on the many short term, band-aid-type approaches that are being used to solve the drawbacks of these systems, the development of an integrated fight-through power system may be the ideal solution for improving the performance of fleet units.

Swedish navy mixes evolution and revolution to launch stealth multimission corvette
Article Abstract:
Sweden's Royal Navy is expected to commission the first of its Visby-class corvette stealth submarines in Jun 2000. The Royal Navy, which will be one of the first to operate such a multimission capable submarine, decided to focus on stealth capability in designing the ship as a cost-effective means of enhancing its fighting capabilities. The commissioning of the Visby corvettes is also expected to require innnovations in naval manning, training and doctrine.

Beluga: Soviet Project 1710 submarine-laboratory
Article Abstract:
Soviet Project 1710 submarine, tagged as the Beluga by NATO, was based on an idea proposed by I.M. Borodenkov and B.F. Dronov in 1960. The idea to use an actual submarine as a laboratory for the design of future Russian submarines became a reality with the approval of the submarine- laboratory's plans in 1962. The Beluga submarine, which is now a part of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, is presently being considered for new rounds of submarine research work.
