| At random: The USS Blenny SS 324, on her last patrol of WW II sank 63 vessels. One by torpedo and 62 by deck gunfire, demolition charges set by boarding parties or by burning. On several occasions shotguns were fired through the boats bottoms. These were all vessels under the 500 ton JANAC limit for tonnage sunk and not counted in the "official" totals or ships sunk. This is also a record for the most vessels ever sunk by a submarine on one patrol. |

| Subject: GE - Submarine Related GE has been in the business news lately. From what I read the company is slowly sinking. Selling off business units for the last few years. When I was in the navy, their equipment was everywhere. The Polaris missile computer and guidance system were GE (Pittsfield, MA). Turbines were GE; reactor stuff was GE; etc. You would see the circle with GE logo everywhere. They were kicked out of the Dow Industrial index by a Drug Store chain!

It was only earlier this month that GE signed a deal with BAe Systems to provide their expertise in improving power performance/resilience in present and future RN surface warships. Not sure precisely what that is they will be providing but if it has been considered a necessity then I'm sure GE will come up with the required solutions. https://www.gemarinesolutions.com/content/ge-support-royal-navy-type-45-fleet-update-enhance-its-power-resilience Pedro  Edited by Pedro 2018-06-27 8:33 AM | ||
