...rudder works by altering the flow of water around it so that one side begins to experience greater pressure than the other. If the rudder is swung to starboard (right), for instance, pressure on that side will increase and lessen on the other. As a result the stern, or tail end, of the boat will swing to port (left) and the bow, or front, to starboard. Moreover, the turn will become sharper as the rudder angle is increased. But if the angle becomes larger than 35° the rudder will stir up so much turbulence in the vicinity that...
...goals of Air Force researchers is a laser that could blind the tracking and fire-control mechanisms of enemy antiaircraft guns, which have accounted for the bulk of U.S. plane losses over North Viet Nam. Work is also under way on a laser that could be fitted as a tail gun aboard the proposed B-1 supersonic bomber. The Navy, for its part, is experimenting with shipboard lasers that could, for example, meet the threat posed by the Soviets' new extremely accurate Styx surface-to-surface missiles. Perhaps the most imaginative concept considered by Pentagon advanced-weaponry planners...

The magnetic Mark 36, which has extended tail fins to keep it from sinking too deeply in water or mud, is dropped on rivers and canals in an effort to stop the flow of barges carrying military supplies. The same type of bomb, with its fins retracted to effect a sharper landing, is dropped on road junctions. With its retracted fins, it sinks deep into the earth. In addition...
