Fins of the Future - FFG-7,

Abstract

This paper addresses the justification, design philosophy, system description and technical evaluation of the FFG 7 fin stabilization system - the fins of the future. These fins are to be installed on FFG 7 Class ships to provide increased mission effectiveness. Details of 'lessons learned' are addressed and these are shown to be incorporated into this new design. Reliability and maintainability of the total system is stressed. Appendices provide useful design and specification tools. (Author)
