Abstract: The invention relates to a propulsion system for a fast seagoing ship, especially a naval ship, which comprises a propulsion system driven by at least one water jet produced by a pump assembly with an outlet nozzle for water, and a propeller jet produced by at least one propeller. The water jet carries along gases that are introduced downstream of the pump assembly, especially exhaust gases of at least one drive device which especially comprises a power generation device and a generator. The water jet is generated in at least one water jet drive by means of a pump that is, e.g., driven by an electric motor and whose drive power is generated by e.g. a generator assembly.

Abstract: A fast military surface craft, particularly a frigate or a corvette, includes at least two electric rudder propeller drives, whereby the electric ruder propeller drive is placed at a cruising speed. The electric energy for the rudder propeller of the electric rudder propeller drives is generated by way of fuel cell units distributed in a de-centralized manner in the ship. At least two, preferably electric, hydrojets are provided with underwater hydrojet exit nozzles to enable the craft to travel at high speeds, whereby the electric energy of the hydrojets is produced, by generators.

Abstract: A warship has a unit seating extending around an opening in a ship's deck with a platform mounted in the seating and levelled relative to the main scantling plane of said warship, and a functional unit installation, e.g., a weapon or a navigational apparatus, on the platform. A container carried beneath the platform, accommodates a part of the functional unit installation. Vertically resiliently acting supports carry at least a part of the weight of the platform, the container and the installation and allow limited horizontal movement of the container relative to the supports.

Abstract: A maritime structure such as a ship, and in particular a warship, has a plurality of vertically spaced decks which bear foundation seatings, hatches and/or assembly openings; in the plane of each deck, longitudinal parallel support elements, and lateral support elements are arranged in the form of a unit grid, which has longitudinal and transverse grid lines forming a matrix of grid units. The longitudinal grid lines, as well as the transverse grid lines are located at predetermined uniform spacing, the spacing of the lateral grid lines being perferably twice the spacing of longitudinal grid lines. The load bearing longitudinal and transverse beams and girders of base support units and the functional units, pallets, support frames, modules, deck houses, etc., as well as the hatches, assembly openings and access openings are incorporated into the unit grid; in other words, said girders and beams are disposed to coincide with said longitudinal and transverse grid lines.

Abstract: Rectangular base mounting-platform structures for removable combat-equipment, for example, guns and other support units like radar which are mounted on rectangular openings on a ship-deck, are provided with interchangeability. In order to achieve interchangeability of units which have mounting-platform structures of unequal size, the platform rectangular dimensions as well as the dimensions of the corresponding rectangular openings are so designed that the base length of the smallest unit is made equal to the width of the next bigger rectangle and so forth; in order to mount the smallest rectangular base on the immediate next larger rectangular opening, the length of the smallest rectangular base is aligned with the width of the larger opening; mounting is so done as to leave an open space towards only one side, leaving only one longer side of the smallest rectangular base unsupported within the area of the mounting opening.

Abstract: A piping system in a maritime structure, such as a ship, is subdivided into individual piping units at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal and/or lateral direction along lateral or longitudinal dividing planes. The piping units are disposed and supported on removable pallets mounted on a surface in the interior of the ship, e.g., on a selected deck, or bottom deck of the ship. The open ends of corresponding mating pipes of adjacent piping units are arranged at the dividing planes. The corresponding pipes of one piping unit and corresponding mating pipes of adjacent piping units are connected in a fluid-tight manner by means of removable pipe connectors. The dividing planes may advantageously be made to coincide with a grid having lines which are drawn to divide a deck length and width uniformly. The piping units may be standardized and prefabricated.

Abstract: A warship with individual standardized operating units and a central command post unit has standardized information transmission lines independent of the type of units arranged on the individual standard platforms. A data processor (11', 11", 12' to 31') is provided inside each standardized operating unit (11, 12 to 31). The information to be transmitted is brought into a suitable form for transmission via the standard information transmission lines. Furthermore, the information received via the standard information transmission line is transformed into a form suitable for processing in the standardized operating units (11, 12 to 31).

Abstract: The weapons units of a warship may be formed in remotely prefabricated modular sub-assemblies which are capable of interchangeable mounting at different locations on the warship by an arrangement which includes a standardized adapter device structurally formed as part of the warship and defining the opening of a compartment into which the modular sub-assembly of the weapons unit is mounted. The weapons unit modular sub-assembly consists of a container within which the weapons unit is prefabricated. The weapons unit container and the adapter unit on the warship are both formed with mating structural parts having standardized sizes and configurations in order to enable interchangeability of the sub-assemblies. Although each sub-assembly may be formed with a different weapons unit, the container for the weapons unit of each sub-assembly is uniformly structured in a standardized manner complementing the adapter unit on the warship.
