SPECIFICATIONS OF SPINNING STABILIZED SHIP, SSS.

  • Spinning stabilized ships, SSS, will be built at our future 40 plus Acres Shipyard in Coos Bay, Oregon USA.

  • Spinning stabilized ship, SSS, company is taking orders now.

  • Spinning stabilized ship, SSS, is designed and built based on figure #2 and hull example #218 of our patent description since this hull shape is completely not sensitive to its orientation to waves.

  • Hull shape - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has spherical Hull dimensions 100' entire hull height and 100' beam and 100' length 

  • Interior space for all passengers and crew - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has six decks of interior with 37,364 square feet of deck space for passengers and crew. Deck five 7536 square feet, deck six 7850 square feet, deck seven 7536 square feet, deck eight 6592 square feet, deck nine 5024 square feet and deck ten 2826 square feet. All seven upper decks are above the waterline. 

  • Interior lower four decks -spinning stabilized ship's, SSS, lower four decks house fuel tanks and entire propulsion system. The three lowest decks of the lower four decks are below the waterline.

  • Exterior decks - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has no exterior decks.

  • Exterior windows - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has no exterior windows.

  • Exterior view - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, instead of windows on every deck has multiple large high definition video screens which allow 100% visibility of the outside environment and each video screen receives a signal from a hull mounted waterproof/self-cleaning video camera. These video screens are mounted on the inside of the hull all around each interior deck to appear like windows. All interior compartments which are not on the actual hull have video screens as well. This video screen system is powered with a redundant electrical system to prevent any interruption of a constant view of the outside environment. 

  • Displacement - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, displacement when fully loaded is 3500 tons

  • Hull draft - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, when fully loaded is 30 feet

  • Height above waterline - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, height above the waterline is 70 feet.

  • Hull material - spinning stabilized ship's, SSS, entire outer hull is steel.

  • Hull thickness - spinning stabilized ship's, SSS, entire hull is one inch thick.

  • Cruising speed - spinning stabilized ship's, SSS, cruising speed is 12 knots.

  • Total Power - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has 15,000 horsepower diesel electric generation.

  • Power production - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has two 7,500 horsepower Caterpillar diesel generators. Each (C280-16) is a 16 cylinder powerful medium-speed unit commonly used for offshore marine generating 5 Megawatts. Two of these are equal to 10 Megawatts. Only one generator at a time is running entire vessel. One generator is always available as a backup.

  • Fuel diesel capacity - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has a 200,000 gallon fuel capacity. 

  • Cruising range - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, has 10,000 nautical mile cruising range.

  • Propulsion - spinning stabilized ship,SSS, has six Schottel  flush mounted 360 degree azimuthing SPJ-180 waterjet drive pumps. These pumps produce propulsion and rotation. These pumps are 100% safe for all marine life and humans under the hull at all times while operating.These SPJ-180 waterjets are driven by large electric motors.

  • Steering -  spinning stabilized ship,SSS, has azimuthing 360 degree steering in any direction at anytime 

  • Steering procedure - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, when the hull is underway and the hull is in spinning mode, the helm matches the steering constantly with a counter propulsive force set to follow a set course by the helm. As long as the counter steering is matched to the rate of rotation, regardless of any course changes, the spinning stabilized ship will stay on course at all times.

  •  Stabilization rotation - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, rotates one rotation per minute at 3.6 m.p.h speed at the equator of the interior. This rate of rotation is very passenger friendly. At one rotation per minute, considering the large mass of the ship, this speed will be ideal for maximum stabilization and maintaining a low level of internal centrifugal force. 

  • Bullet proof Hull - spinning stabilized ship's, SSS, hull material is one inch thick steel, and most small arms weapons can not penetrate the hull.

  • Stability rated - spinning stabilized ship, SSS, is 100% stable in all sea conditions of the Beaufort scale 1 thru 12 and Beaufort extended scale 13 thru 17.
