[PSUBS-MAILIST] FYI : NUWC Patents



Check these out.

I know all of us have been looking far and wide for that off-the-shelf
"Muzzle Brake for an Underwater Gun" especially for that pSubs'
Convention wargames  "Run Silent Run Cheap" competition. [ or
is that next year  : -)   ]  Look no more...here it is!  And, I know I
want the "Superconducting Electromagnetic Torpedo Launcher"
add-on to my Aquasub.

' Kidding aside,  these may be worth contemplating for ideas.  Some
of the drawings are a bit sketchy  [ no pun intended ] ,  but some are
detailed enough to give some thought to.

The files are small, from 50+Kb to 100+Kb  in PDF format.  They're
in standard 2 page USPTO document-drawing format.

Here is the link and long list.
