doughnut-shaped tire designed by the
Goodyear Co.,and inflated to 300
pounds pressure. In case of damage,
the tire is deflated and the shaft and
propellor are hauled up into the
ship for repairs or replacements. In
trials, this operation has been per
formed in a heavy sea and the repair
ed propellor put back in service in
20 minutes. It also makes it possible
for the ship to run into shore at
high tide, retreat her propellors and
lie in the bottom to unload. Under
weigh the layout gives her freedom
from rolling and from vibration. It
also gives her great maneuverability,
an important consideration under air
or submarine attack. For example,
while the two middle propellors idle
the portside propellor can go full speed
ahead while the starboard propellor
reverses, spinning her around by her
waist.
Unique Features
The basic conception of this ship
IS to by-pass all possible bottlenecks.
She does not require the same weight
of steel plate as conventional ships,
she does not require moulded forms:
all her plates are flat or on a simple
curve; she does not use marine en
gines; she does not require a ship
yard or many skilled workers; and
she can be built in two months. When
she goes to sea, she v.111 not need
marine engineers or a large crew.
Eight men can handle her 2,200 tons.
This development was not achieved
without opposition from the Navy.
Conventional sailors were scandalized
by the radical design. Shipping in
terests may have seen a threat to
their monopoly in a boat that could be
built almost in a cowpasture beside
any good-sized creek. But, when pres
sure of the White House and the
press forced the Naval authorities to
act, the Navy issued a statement im-
plymg that all credit was due to the
President and the Navy and making
no mention of Burgess, Bryan and
Redmond, the three men who had de
veloped the idea and put up over a
hundred thousand dollars and pre
sented to the Navy the first exper
imental sea-otter boat.
