NEW TECHNOLOGY

U.S. Submarines:

Taking Technology To New Depths

U.S. Submarines Inc., a newly formed submarine manufacturer based in Anacortes, Wash., is intent on spawning a new era of undersea technology and exploration.

Led by an international team of professionals responsible for the de- sign, manufacture and operation of more than 30 contemporary subs,

U.S. Submarines plans to build the world's first personal luxury sub- marine, the NOMAD 1000.

Fully designed and engineered, the NOMAD 1000 combines tech- nology already proven in the world's luxury yachts and in military and tourist submarines.

We've just taken another step ahead by going astern.

When you're firmly established as a world leader, it can be easy to become complacent.

But for HamiltonJet, quite the reverse is true... literally.

As the first to introduce the split duct deflector for superior astern thrust and vessel manoeuvrability, HamiltonJet has just advanced this concept another step.

The result is the patented HSRX servo- hydraulic follow-up control system. This major advance in applied hydraulics features a unique rotary valve integral with the deflector actuating cylinder.

The new HSRX gives full follow-up movement with enhanced reaction time and precision at the zero-speed position... simply. And all with inboard hydraulics for long life and easy maintenance.

HamiltonJet.

Definitely not astern in going ahead.

Circle 236 on Reader Service Card have developed a vessel that will create an entirely new niche in the world's marine industry.

The NOMAD 1000 is an offshoot of tourist submarines, which are expected to carry more than two million passengers worldwide in 1993.

Mr. Jones and the rest of the

U.S. Submarines team have con- tributed strongly to the growth of the tourist submarine industry over the years.

NOMAD 1000 overcomes many of the limitations familiar to today's fleet of nearly 50 tourist submersibles by incorporating tech- nology common on most military subs.

Unlike a tourist submersible, which is dependent on a support vessel for long-range transport and maintenance, the 65-foot, diesel/ electric NOMAD 1000 is completely autonomous, the U.S. Submarines tGcim claims

On the surface, NOMAD 1000 is propelled by twin turbo Cummins diesel engines, capable of reaching speeds up to 12 knots for a range of 1,000 nautical miles.

Once submerged, batteries pro- vide power to a silent-running, 110- hp electric motor that can power the (Continued on page 19)
