...INSERTING PLUGS Specially designed plugs will be lowered from the barge and inserted into each hole in the sub. The plugs work like giant toggle bolts, expanding once they have passed through the holes in the hull. Each plug has been shaped for its specific spot along...
...exactly the explosions. They registered two major seismic tremors. Such a tremor could be caused by a heavy surface ship hitting the Kursk hull. The brass hastened to show that the Petr Veliki heavy cruiser was in full order. But The Petr Veliki was not even close to the place. The Admiral Kuznetsov cruiser...
...believe that it is necessary. The hole couldn't weaken the hull badly enough to pose a risk to raising the whole submarine. Also, this hole is the only "silent witness" of what happened. Making the cut through it will destroy whatever forensic evidence there is. Anyway, trying to cut the eight meter wide hull with a chain is ridiculous nonsense...
...There never was any real design, or intention to accomplish this mission," Chernov told TIME. It was Chernov who publicly insisted that the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office (CMPO) should forbid severing the bow from the dead submarine, as the cut would go through the hole in the hull caused by explosion, destroying forensic evidence that may point to the cause of the deadly accident. So far, the CMPO had kept mum. However, Novye Izvestiya, a well-informed Moscow- based daily, reported Thursday that the CMPO did indeed rule out cutting off the nose section. The CMPO would not confirm...
Szlanta's strategy of specialization has proved to be smart. While other shipbuilders tend to work on variations of a standard hull, Gdynia designs from scratch and works closely with clients to add special features that they want. The blueprint that won the Weyerhaeuser contract is a gantry-crane "open hatch" design that many shipyards simply weren't equipped to produce. The ships will carry lumber and paper to the Far East and return filled with cars, snowmobiles and industrial equipment. The built-in retractable cranes will allow the ships to load and unload quickly, even at ports with inferior...
