...peacetime history. The Queen will visit only three cities: Charlottetown on English-speaking Prince Edward Is land, the Quebec capital of Quebec City, and the federal capital at Ottawa. As she sails up the St. Lawrence River aboard the royal yacht Britannia, frog men will check the hull for mines at every stop. During parades, she will ride in a closed, bulletproof limousine, and in Quebec City a fleet of armored riot-control trucks awaits...

...aluminum Hydroskimmer moves on a thin cushion of air; it gets its lift from the powerful blast of the four turbine-driven fans in the ship's hull. Once the skimmer is balanced on its air cushion, the two propellers in the stern roar into action. Starting from a spot 25 miles off the Erie beach, the Hydro-skimmer landed its marines in less than 30 minutes, traversed the last 600 yds. in less than 40 sec., minimizing exposure to potential enemy fire, maximizing the element of surprise. In addition, the marines were landed on the beach itself instead...

...before on the designers' drawing boards. Sovereign's Scott actually put his boat across the starting line five lengths ahead. But Rival Helmsman Bob Bavier simply sailed Constellation through Sovereign's lee, within 15 minutes had a ten-length lead as Designer Olin Stephens' powerful hull knifed smoothly through the buffeting swells, while Sovereign pounded like a flat-bottomed scow. When Constellation swept across the finish line, Sovereign was 21 miles and more than 20 minutes behind. Aboard the British tender, Sovereign's designer, David Boyd, hid his face in his hands...

Fatheaded Whale. Last week a deep-diving laboratory was launched by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corp. in Groton, Conn. Christened the Aluminaut and looking for all the world like a fatheaded sperm whale, the craft is the world's first aluminum submarine. Its 51 -ft. hull consists of eleven forged cylinders. Since aluminum's strength-to-weight ratio exceeds that of steel, the Aluminaut's 6½-in.-thick shell will withstand pressures of 7,500 lbs. per sq. in. at the sub's 17,000-ft. maximum diving range. At the same...

Bavier's special excellence is getting the last fraction of a knot out of his sails and hull. Not a man for complex tactics, he left most of the maneuvering to Cox, instead concentrated on speed. With that strategy, he lost only once in seven races-and then in fluky breezes that wandered all round the compass. Five of the six wins were not even close. That still left Eagle with the better overall record for the trials (19-10 v. Connie's 18-11), but there could be no question as to which was now the faster...
