- From Cal Demaine <demaine@ee.ualberta.ca>
-
- Hello. I've got three submarine-related questions which I'd like answers
- for. Posting to the group is fine, but you can Email if you wish.
-
- 1. What is the shape of the tail/rudder on the 688 class and Ohio class
- boats? I have a large number of pictures of these subs, and not a one
- shows either's rear end. Is it a standard plus "+" configuration, or some
- hybrid "H" or "double H"?
-
- 2. What material is used for the sound-deadening coating of modern boats?
- I have heard that sorbathane was developed for exactly this purpose. Is
- this true?
-
- 3. There are two large American Subbases with the same name - "Bangor".
- One is on the east coast and one is on the west coast. Any reason for
- the duplicate name? What is the history of these bases?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- - Cal
