Pocket battleship
| Морской словарь |
Popular name for a nazi-german class of heavy cruiser (schwere kreuzer) designed to by-pass treaty restrictions by mounting powerful 11-inch (250 mm) guns in a relatively small (10,000 ton) lightly-armored hull. known to the germans as panzerschiffe (armored ships) they followed the pattern set in the 18th century by united states “super frigates” (see warship rating), being more powerful than anything speedy enough to catch them, but faster than anything able to outgun them. the germans initially liked the “battleship” designation because it magnified the power and prestige of these “super cruisers” in the public eye. later the british used the term to overemphasize the magnitude of their 1939 victory in the battle of the river plate.

Podded drive, английский
An electric or hydraulic propulsion system in which shaft, rudder, gearbox, and propeller( s) are enclosed in single or multiple pairs of streamlined pods suspended below the hull. access to underwater equipment for repairs or maintenance is a problem, although damaged units can fairly easily be replaced and repaired ashore. the cruise industry has eagerly embraced pod technology because units capable of 360° horizontal rotation (known as azimuth thrusters) provide unlimited direction of thrust and give previously undreamed of maneuverability without the need for tugs. moreover, since the propulsion system is independent of its power source, engines can be placed at any convenient location that reduces noise within the vessel. naval services are less enthusiastic. flexibility in layout could reduce the vulnerability of equipment to blast or shock but, ironically, the benefit of low internal noise, so important in cruise ships, could potentially lead to risk in naval combat. when vibrating equipment, previously masked by the hull, is re-positioned in direct contact with the water, it could transmit a louder external signature and, once detected, the pods could be identified as targets.
Pluto, английский
Code-name (and acronym of pipe line under the ocean) for a vital component of operation overlord, the 1944 normandy invasion. a reliable supply of fuel was of the highest priority; without it any inland advance would at best slow down and at worst grind to a halt, giving german forces time to regroup and counter-attack. however, tankers and ship-to-shore pipelines would clutter up the mulberry harbors, obstruct the movement of troops and materiel, be subject to vagaries of the weather, and provide easy targets for air attack. because storage facilities near the english channel were also vulnerable to air attack, a secret network of pipelines already carried fuel from safer ports and storage facilities to the south coast, with its terminals and pumping stations disguised as bungalows, gravel pits, garages and even an ice cream parlor. pluto was linked to this network, ingeniously using submarine cable, minus the core, as the underwater pipe. it was essential in war time to use terminology that would convey nothing to the enemy, so all concerned were encouraged to think and speak of “cables” rather than pipes or pipelines. the initial installation was laid in a mere 10 hours on d-day. it consisted of four lines totaling 280 miles (450 kms) of cable/pipe, running from the isle of wight to the cherbourg peninsula. as the allies advanced eastward, a second pluto with 17 lines totaling 500 miles (800 kms) was laid from dungeness in england to boulogne in france. the latter supplied allied forces with over a million gallons a day.
