M_Gargantua posted:Wait until you get to the "the entire hull is surrounded by a ballast tank" which just screams to me of some A-ganger playing a prank and her just buying it fully. Or misinterpreting the "entire diameter" for "entire length" Maybe she misunderstood how a pressure hull and outer hull works?

The height of the ground effect scales with wingspan, so a larger one can cruise higher.

Lemniscate Blue posted:I do like the kite sail idea for cargo ships to reduce fuel use. And there's a part of me that's sad that fully wind-powered sea transport isn't viable at the scale we need because there's something really neat about sailing ships. I loving love sailboats. Build a modern materials monstrosity of a windjammer, just go absolutely wild

AlternateNu posted:Apropos of nothing, it always makes my eyes twitch seeing the civilian journalist abbreviations for Navy ranks. Why DoD/DoN doesn't just send out a release telling them "this is how you shorten Navy ranks/rates...guess what?! It'll save you print space just putting LCDR there instead of Lt. Cmdr.!" Nick Soapdish posted:AP style guide It is a lot easier for the uninitiated to read Lt. Cmdr. than LCDR
