RE: Wet Navy in the future was Re: Questions regarding NAC ground units, was SG IF morale

Along these lines, I just ran across a discussion of a technology I'd
never 
hear of before, and I was pretty impressed with it.  Also very very 
disappointed in myself for not having encountered it before.  The
technology 
is Supercavitation.  Makes for some interesting designs, if anyone ever
ran 
a naval sci-fi game.
