Markku Kanerva, director of sales for marine design company Deltamarin said that while the vessel is modeled after the legendary liner the diesel-powered ship will even have four decorative smoke stacks mimicking the coal-powered originals it will meet modern navigation and safety requirements.
NASA's slice of the pie includes a plan that would improve detection of near-Earth asteroids, send a solar-powered robot ship (like the NASA concept above) to capture one of the space rocks and tow it back to a stable orbit near Earth, where researchers could study it up close.
At slow speeds, it runs only on an electric motor powered by the ship's auxiliary turbine.
So surprisingly, the best hope for clean, green ethanol right now is to ship it in diesel-powered trucks.
While the ship will not travel at warp speed, with an ion propulsion engine powered by a 1.5GW nuclear reactor, it can travel at a constant acceleration so that the ship can easily get to key points of interest in our solar system.
The craft is powered by batteries and the turbines that drive the ship were made with special care to be incredibly quiet.
In October the USS Makin Island, an amphibious assault ship, was the first of 12 hybrid-powered ships to take to the water.
From his boat, Ridley wrote a daily blog via a solar-powered satellite phone, describing his near collision with a container ship, battles with 20-foot waves and cravings for gin and tonics.
The proposed plan would retire seven cruisers early, delay construction of the next large-deck amphibious warfare ship by one year, cancel the second Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) in 2014, delay construction of two smaller amphibious warfare ships, and reduce procurement of littoral combat ships by two and joint high speed vessels by eight.

The Royal Navy were rallied and they led the bombing runs dropping 62, 000lbs of bombs, 5, 200 gallons of petrol, 11 high-powered rockets and an undisclosed amount of napalm on the wreck and the surrounding waters, sinking the ship, but not really dispersing the oil.
