Earlier this year, after intensive design in- vestigation and development, the Common- wealth of Australia Department of Defense placed a contract with Carrington Slipways Pty Ltd. for the construction of two prototype catamaran minehunters for the Royal Austra- lian Navy. Each is 31 meters in length, 9 me- ters abeam, displaces 170 tons and has a speed of approximately 10 knots. The catamaran design for a minehunter al- lows a unique combination of proven concepts to be used which include: (1) A catamaran hull form which provides a large stable work- ing area, reduces pressure signature and al- lows machinery to be placed high in the ship to reduce magnetic and acoustic signatures, minimizing the risk of mine activation. (2) Foam sandwich construction which further re- duces the noise signature, provides good ther- mal insulation, requires a minimum of main- tenance and provides improved shock resistance. (3) Use of twin diesel engines of a single type, each simultaneously driving a generator for ship power and a hydraulic pump for transmission of power to the propul- sion steering units, all mounted well above the water line. (4) A containerized weapons control system which utilizes the functions of the navigational sensors, the sonar and the precision navigation equipment to control a recoverable submersible mine disposal vehicle. The vessels are being built in a special pur- pose facility. The storage areas for GRP ma- terials and the construction areas are environ- mentally controlled within strict limits to provide optimum conditions for applications and curing. The hull core is made up of high density PVC foam which is glued together on a male mold. The outer skin is then laminated and the shell turned and put into a cradle for lam- ination of the inner skin and installation of internal bulkheads, decks and other substructure. The main deck core is laid up on a concave mold and the concave side of the foam lami- nated. The mold with the deck attached is then lifted, inverted, placed in position over the hull structure and secured. The deck mold is then removed and the upper side of the deck laminated and overlaid to the sides. The whole hull is then rotated through 180° to al- low the lamination of the underside of both No. 1 and No. 2 decks. On completion of this 36 Write 776 on Reader Service Card
