US Navy restructures carrier plans
The US Navy, aided by the US Department of Defense (DoD), has
again restructured
its plans for the service's next-generation aircraft carrier, navy
officials
and industry sources have disclosed.
The new programme, to be called CVN-21, is a hybrid of what was
previously
planned for CVNX-1 and CVNX-2. Some CVNX-2 technologies have been
brought
forward to the first carrier following calls from senior DoD
officials
(Jane's Defence Weekly 7 February 2001). Like the CVNX-1, the new
plans
call for the carrier to be bought in Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07).

UK tests integrated waste management for 'environmentally
independent'
naval vessels
UK research and technology group QinetiQ recently conducted a
45-day trial
of an Integrated Waste Management System Technology Demonstrator
(IWMSTD)
that could lead to an 'environmentally independent' warship for
the UK
Royal Navy (RN) in approximately 2015. The scale demonstrator rig,
running
in the Auxiliary Machinery Test House at QinetiQ's Haslar
facility, integrates
off-the-shelf, existing naval and new technologies into a system
dealing
with 10 individual waste streams, representing a future warship
with a
complement of 204. Strachan & Henshaw and BMT Defence Services
are
major subcontractors for the 13-month program, which ends this
month,
for which QinetiQ has received funding approaching £1.5
million
(US$2.3m).
