I know New Scientist has had a fair few articles on it over the last 12
months or more.

Sorry can't remember which particular issues though.

Last I heard the Russians were way ahead on this one, for the moment at
least, though the USAians were catching up fast with some new and
improved
propulsion ideas. I'd also heard that it was one of the theories behind
the
Kursk going down (the supercavitating torps are bigger and the test one
got
stuck on first firing).

Marine movement wise its very promising as it allows for supersonic
speed
underwater (or there abouts) if you can keep the bubble stable - sort of
like the marine equivalent of the butterfly flight phenomenon.

Cheers
