Those aren't your momma's engines!!! The TSV has 4 engines, 2 port, 2
starboard. Each engine contains a 3 foot in diameter "impeller". The
TSV works on the same principle as a Jet Ski.
|
When you leave & enter the Guam harbor, you get a police escort.

How's that for a wake? It trails the boat as far as the eye can see.
|
How's that for a rooster tail? The rooster tail from the engines runs
back for about 60 feet.

A view from the stern of the TSV on the cargo deck. Normally there is a
wall that is up, but the crew was getting ready to deploy targets for
range testing.
