We changed out a main engine LM2500 on a Destroyer. They took the top of the stack off and it came right out on a set of rails. Pretty impressive stuff.
Reminds me of the Brave class the Royal Navy had in the sixties. Our school was on a hill overlooking the local harbour and we 'd watch them coming out of the harbour at four knots when they were clear of the harbour multi they would open them up and disappear into the distance. I think there were three Brave Bordered, Brave Cutlass and I can 't remember the third. Too noisy to creep up on anything but they didn't need to they could outrun just about anything.
Hence the reason so many old piston engined aircraft which are still useful (because they are so well suited to the job they do) have been converted to the most used small turboprop, the PT-6.
🚫 No, no, their naval missile boat waterskiing team does NOT ski directly behind the boat! Actually, there are two, 18.5 meter long, carbon fibre booms which are extended out from either side of the boat, with an attachment point every 1.6m for all the tow lines. When performing their competitive waterskiing dance routine, there are 20 ski-dancers at once! 😉👍 Unfortunately, their team came in 3rd place this year to the missile boat waterski-dancing teams from Malta and Canada..... ❓🤔❓ For some reason I cannot seem to find photos or video of what I'm talking about here.

That's cool as hell. Hydrofoil? I served aboard Knox (DE/FF-1052 class) and O.H. Perry (FFG-7 class); and have conducted training aboard every cruiser, destroyer, and frigate that sailed out of Pearl in the 80's and 90's; and not a single solitary one of them could do 40 knots. Damn that looks like fun.
I was enlisted co-pilot (ET1) on USS Plainview, 2 J-79s putting out 30,000 HP going through 2, 5ft titanium screws. 220 feet, 300 tons. We got her up to 43 knots. Left a hell of a rooster tail all over Puget Sound in 1970.
You would probably die from the insane vibration and hot exhausts. I've been about 150 meters behind this ship as it turned around in the harbour, at close to idle speed, and the amount of noise almost made me shit my pants. It is insane.
The Pegasus class hydrofoil was powered by a GE LM2500 pushing 18,000 SHP and 2 MB 800 HP diesels. Top speed 50 knots on foils and 12 knots cruising on diesels alone. Could pass everything but a fuelling station as it sucked back 1000 gallons an hour of diesel fuel in go fast mode. Only built 6 of them.
One of my friends worked for Vosper Thornycroft he used to tell me about testing the Perkasa torpedo boats on the Solent 4 gas turbine Rolls-Royce Proteus engine's he used to say they were very fast
Hey. The old PT Boats had a range of 500 miles. Flank speed of 40kts. 4- Ma Deuces and 4- 21" torpedo tubes. Still have a few around. They are pretty nice.
@lamarrrrr yes. There is extensive data on these boats and their stupidly excessive fuel consumption. I think the fuel consumption is why they weren't used longer.
The Royal Navy had two similar boats based in Hong Kong before the 1997 handover. Very efficient in chasing pirates too…. Rumour has it they were gifted to the Phillipene Navy.
@@Solnoric As long as it is in the fuel oil/Jet A1/diesel family. US Army helicopters can be run on normal diesel fuel for 24 hours in an emergency, but after that the engine must be taken apart and cleaned. Basically the difference between those fuels is just the quality and cleanliness standards, the stuff itself is more or less the same.
I’m not sure what they mean by “Missile Boat” but nowadays a torpedo can be delivered by helicopter. Choppers have a range of about three hundred miles, and can drop a torpedo into the water within a mile of the target. What does this very expensive missile boat do?
Pretty respectfull when you meet any Svedish military boat/ship when out in the archipelago of the Swedish coast, Pure power and ammo to attack any enemy.
they have fast boats that can do 60 miles per hour and carry those AMOS twin 120mm mortar turrets... it could smash tanks to pieces from a mile away and be gone up the fjord in seconds.
@@admiralfaffy nope, Sweden cheaped out of the AMOS programme just as it was ready for serial production. The Finns stuck with it and uses it iirc. Later in 2014, Swedish politicians got a rude wakeup call as Putin invaded and occupied Crimea, then they ordered the Mjölner dual tube protected semi-turret mortar system on CV90 chassi. a simpler and slightly more conventional system than AMOS with assisted muzzle loaded tubes capable of MRSI but not as many shells simultaneously and without direct fire capability iirc. On the plus side, the Mjölner can load any length of 12cm mortar ammo with the crew inside while the AMOS could not fit the assembled STRIX anti-tank shell into it's breech loading system and had to have crew load it from the outside standing on the vehicle hull iirc.
The terms "Start" and "Burnout" in the context of missile boats and missile operations typically relate to missile launch and propulsion phases. Here’s an explanation of these terms in detail: --- ### 1. **Start Phase** (Missile Launch) The *start* phase refers to the initiation of the missile's launch sequence. This is the point when the missile is fired, leaving its launcher or vertical launch system (VLS). Key aspects of the start phase include: - **Ignition:** The missile's rocket motor is ignited, generating the thrust required to propel it. - **Guidance Activation:** The missile's onboard systems, such as inertial guidance or GPS, are initialized to guide the missile toward its target. - **Initial Thrust:** During the start phase, the missile begins accelerating under the power of its rocket motor. - **Launch Platform Dynamics:** Depending on the missile and launch platform (e.g., a missile boat or ship), the platform may need to account for recoil or other effects of launch. For missile boats, this phase is critical as the launch must be coordinated with the boat's movement and environmental conditions (e.g., sea state, wind, or enemy countermeasures). --- ### 2. **Burnout Phase** (End of Propulsion) The *burnout* phase refers to the point when the missile's propulsion system (usually a solid rocket motor) expends all its fuel and stops producing thrust. Key aspects of the burnout phase include: - **End of Powered Flight:** After burnout, the missile transitions from powered flight to unpowered (ballistic or gliding) flight, depending on its design. - **Cruise or Terminal Phase Initiation:** For missiles that have a secondary propulsion system (e.g., a ramjet or scramjet), burnout of the initial booster might transition into the activation of the secondary propulsion. Otherwise, the missile proceeds to its terminal phase using kinetic energy and guidance systems. - **Range Limitation:** The missile's maximum range is determined by the energy and velocity achieved before burnout. - **Guidance Continuation:** Even after burnout, the missile's guidance and control systems remain active to ensure it stays on course. --- ### Example in Context: Anti-Ship Missiles For a missile boat launching an **anti-ship missile**, these phases work together as follows: 1. **Start:** The missile is launched using its booster or primary propulsion system. The boat's crew ensures proper targeting and launch timing. 2. **Powered Flight:** The missile accelerates toward its target, guided by radar, GPS, or other systems. 3. **Burnout:** Once the motor burns out, the missile relies on its momentum and guidance systems to reach the target. In some cases, a secondary propulsion system may take over for long-range strikes. --- ### Operational Considerations for Missile Boats - **Tactical Timing:** The crew must carefully time launches to avoid detection or counter-strikes. - **Positioning:** Missile boats often rely on speed, stealth, and mobility to get into an effective firing position. - **Post-Launch Maneuvers:** Once missiles are launched, the missile boat may need to relocate to avoid retaliation or countermeasures. These phases (start and burnout) play a crucial role in the effectiveness of missile operations and the overall success of the mission.
@@voornaam3191 Because it would serve ZERO purpose, they do not propel the boat by jet thrust, thus an after burner would do nothing but waste fuel. This is a turboshaft engine while afterburners are on turbojet
@@voornaam3191 The boat doesn't use thrust, there's a lot of exhaust but it doesn't have very high speed (most of its energy was used to turn the turbine, it's the same, say, with the Abrams tank, you don't see it blowing stuff around even at full power). If you added afterburners, you'd gain very little thrust but increase fuel consumption many times. Basically with AB you'd get a boat that looks awesome, moves about half of a knot faster and burns five times more fuel. And for a military boat it's more important to have five times more range than to look cool.
This boat needs those engines to generate large volumes of hot gas to drive a power turbine. They generate no thrust from the exhaust the way a turbojet engine does.
50 MPH, give or take, in a heavy hunk of steel like that is quite something on water! How quickly can it come to a stop? The water must help, but still, "Equal and opposite reaction" and all the other stuff that I was too dumb to learn!

@@louishunter9249 Yes. It certainly looked like over fuelling as pulses. I wonder if each pulse was too short to do damage but long enough to clear out excess water or something in the exhaust perhaps?
@@brucebaxter6923 I would have to agree switching or pulsing fuel on and off to avoid a hot or hang start. I have aviation experience and I've never seen it purposely done like that.
Cor wish there was more content and length to this video I started to model one of these I believe it is the same type of boat my model is of percasa, I might get around to finishing it one of these days . The lake that my model boat club used closed and there was no more water / lakes that the club could use or afford so it disbanded and I didn't see the point of finishing it off but if I could see more video footage it might get the juices flowing again and just keep it as a static scale model.
The LCS class ships should have really hauled butt with the CoDAG setup. Too bad. They just couldn't figure out the hull cracking and combining gear problems. Alot of potential went to waste.
Which is stupid. German frigates run codag just fine, and german sar vessels are built from aluminium and last 30y or more in rough conditions. The tech existed

Is there any real useful/rational reason to have jets on a boat? I'm mostly referring to the fuel vs. distance/speed /upkeep and maint./parts etc.
Power to weight ratio is it. Turbines guzzle fuel, but can weigh 1/10th as much as a comparable HP marine engine.
Size and weight savings. Partly offset by big reduction gears and more fuel needed. But when cost is no object, why not?

The lake that my model boat club used closed and there was no more water / lakes that the club could use or afford so it disbanded and I didn't see the point of finishing it off but if I could see more video footage it might get the juices flowing again and just keep it as a static scale model.
Perhaps I can come around with some more content on this boat ;)
Best of luck on your project!
Nylands Brigad hälsar!
Holy Guacamole!:"'
Theres a Tacobell joke in here somewhere! 😂 🤣💨💨💨
These are not SMALL ships these are BIG ships ! and it took of like it was floating on air....
Reminds me of a law enforcement boat I saw late at night off the Florida Keys
Wow! What great boat
The water around that boat is now 5c warmer
Reminded me of judge dread to get back into the city
Spika båt ?
Jag Var på tp 44 med 3 x isotta frachini polar motorer, fint ljud 😀
Nej, R142 Ystad är annan klass, men Spica är också coola.
Horsepower please, I just saw in the description 13000 HP
Call the ship yard. Order one. Then you'll know these silly numbers. Who cares? The insurance company, maybe?
13000 HP = 13000 Horse Power.
I assume you're serious and this is a language barrier and metric barrier thing. That's 9.56 megawatts.
Nice wake boat
Silky smooth
I wouldn't " tube " behind that even when I was younger ....😂😂
Wow so cool. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The LCS class ships should have really hauled butt with the CoDAG setup. Too bad. They just couldn't figure out the hull cracking and combining gear problems. Alot of potential went to waste.
Which is stupid. German frigates run codag just fine, and german sar vessels are built from aluminium and last 30y or more in rough conditions. The tech existed
Cool.
It appears to have propellers as well as the rocket assist pretty damn cool,thanks for the upload on the still photograph that's a pretty sleek-looking boat.
Thanks! Props are the only propulsion, but they are driven by turbine engines.
@@plutten2 Silly me.
Thanks Jorgen.
Great video and I screen pic ed the whole vessel.
Commenting whilst half asleep....greeting from Florida US of A
Peace
@@feellucky271 another florida man i see... respect
Wtf are you talking about rocket assist lol. This is the boat version of a turboprop.
That thing really hustles......
I bet it takes some serious logistics to keep those things going during a conflict. Lots of fuel to move!
that is so cool... thanks for the adventure...
