T.J.'s mystery ship.



Hi Ben_Newsam, I don't know the exact configuration of T.J.'s mystery ship.
He did mention water-jet nozzles bow and aft.
Nitrogen and liquid oxygen are rocket fuels, so it could be done.

The paint comes off at 100 MPH... so it's only for extreme emergencies.
He also said something like:

The hull is ice classed and, when on plane,
it has a 10 foot waterline forward, 15 aft ( instead of 28 ).
At 100 mph it cuts a rut in the sea.
.....
I like 40 MPH in most seas, slowing to 10 MPH in rough seas.

The 1976 containership Pacific record was 6 days at 52 knots...
60 MPH loaded to the water line with containers.
Back in 1976, a loaded container ship could do
60 MPH for 6 days and 8,500 miles.
not all of them... just the record holder.
