There is a problem in my technological concept that does not allow the normal development of the plot of the book. It takes place on an ocean planet where being above sea level is absolutely dangerous with the level of technology that exists there. So all combat operations there take place...

I have been reading the book _Able Seamen: The Lower Decks of the Royal Navy 1850-1939_ by Brian Lavery, Naval Institute Press 2011, and I came across an interesting paragraph regarding engine efficiency (and labor requirements) as steam began to replace sail. I reproduce the relevant...

I was recently offered a job by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to be a civilian Nuclear Engineer in the Nuclear Fluids and Mechanical Engineering Department. I will be graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in the spring (3.70 GPA), and have accepted this offer for employment, though its...

I have come across some equipment constructed out of Naval Brass / Aluminium Brass. Apparently these are common materials for marine applications. e.g. desalination heat exchangers etc. Does anyone know how high a temp. these brasses can be used at? e.g. is 100 C OK? Also the crevice corrosion...

This question is for any naval military folk out there . . . Can naval vessels, from the largest aircraft carriers down to the smaller ships, easily survive severe ocean weather like hurricanes and typhoons? If so, do they even change their training schedules due to bad weather?

Hello, I'm interested in applying for the Naval Academy. I know they have great undergraduate programs in both engineering and physics, which I'm really interested in. (I'm not sure which one exactly I want to get a degree in yet). Graduates from the Naval Academy are required to spend 5...

Hello! I'm trying to calculate the equation of time and the declination of the sun based on the U.S. Naval Observatory's algorithm: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/SunApprox.php" But not the U.S. Naval Obseravtory, or any of the astronomers I've tried to contact, has been eager to help me...

OK, say we have the border of a country represented by a polygon, how do we obtain a new border which at every point has it's nearest point to the country at exactly say 10 miles from it? Is there an algorithm to do this or is it highly computational? It's not as simple as it first seems.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd throw up a note introducing myself so no one is too surprised if some random posts from me start popping up. I'm Nora, a junior at the Naval Academy, physics major (soon to be astrophysics major) and a Spanish minor. While I probably complain about physics twenty...
