What I was looking for was a web-location where people with FUNCTIONING
SUBS ONLY can detail the operational parameters of their machine. This
would include figures such as: the displacement, the top speed, thrust,
power source ... etc. etc. Personally, I would like to use the numbers
to crunch up some statistics and see what people put in vs. what they
get out. (particularly for input thrust vs top speed as a function of
cross section... ). Such figures can also enormously assist people who
are in the design phase.
I did that, in an Excel spreadsheet. I typed in the basic parameters
of 255 designs, most of them military. Would you like to have the
spreadsheet?
I tried calculating Admiralty coefficient, wetted surface vs horsepower
and other variations. I never saw a pattern beyond increased horsepower
equalling increased speed.
