The name tack is given to a rope employed to pull the lower corner of a studding sail to the boom and to the part of a sail to which the tack is usually fastened; the foremost lower corner of fore-and-aft sails, as of schooners.
In nautical terms, tack refers to the direction of a vessel in regard to the trim of her sails; as, the starboard tack, or port tack; the former when she is close-hauled with the wind on her starboard side; hence, the run of a vessel on one tack.
In sailing, tack means to change the direction of a vessel when sailing close-hauled, by putting the helm alee and shifting the tacks and sails so that she will proceed to windward nearly at right angles to her former course. In tacking, a vessel is brought to point at first directly to windward, and then so that the wind will blow against the other side.

The Thetis is a Danish Thetis class multi-role frigate used for fishery protection, surveillance, air-sea rescue, anti-pollution and ice reconnaissance. The armament consists of one Otobreda 76 mm Super Rapid main gun, one or two 20 mm guns from Oerlikon, and depth charge throwers. The Super Rapid gun has a rate of fire of 120 rounds per minute and a range of 16 km. The fire control system is the CelsiusTech 9LV 200 Mk 3. A FLIR Systems Inc AN/AAQ-22 SAFIRE thermal imaging system is used for surveillance. All weapon and equipment systems are connected through the frigates' command, control and communications system. The frigate has a landing deck with a landing spot for a single helicopter. Helicopter support arrangements include a glide path indicator (GPI) and a flight refuelling system. The hangar is equipped for helicopter maintenance and has capacity to hold a Lynx helicopter without having to fold the helicopter tail. The hangar is fitted with a full width door.
The frigate has a double-skinned hull up to two metres above the water-line. The hull is divided by ten bulkheads into watertight compartments such that the vessels are able to sustain hull damage up to eight meters in length without dangerous instability problems. For ship propulsion, one engine-room and the gear-room can be water-filled at the same time, and the frigates will still be able to proceed. The basic hull shape corresponds to that of a high-speed trawler. The frames in the bow and stern are very closely spaced. Amidships the thickness of the outer skin has been increased. The propeller is protected against ice by a bulb in the stern There are no bilge keels, but stabilisation is achieved by a combination of fin stabilizers from Blohm and Voss and a controlled passive tank system supplied by Intering. To minimise ice formation on the superstructure, all winches, capstans, etc. are placed under deck. The forecastle deck is trawler shaped and all open deck spaces and scuppers are heated. The allowed amount of icing is 375 tons. The propulsion machinery
consists of three MAN B&W V28/32 diesel engines with combined power of 9000 kW, fitted in two separate watertight compartments on each side of the gear compartment. The reduction gear box is able to operate under water. The fitted bow thruster is able to hold the bow against a wind of 28 knots. A retractable azimuth thruster is capable of propelling the ship at 10 knots, and can be considered as an emergency machinery set in case of damage to propeller or gears or total engine failure. A shaft generator of 1500 kW is located in the forward engine room, and there are three GM Detroit diesel motors with Volund Teknik generators, each with an output of 480 kW, installed with one in the forward and two in the aft engine room. An 127 kW emergency diesel generating set is fitted in a compartment under the forecastle deck.
The ship has an endurance of 8300 nautical miles at varying speeds with a 10 per cent fuel reserve. Provisions cover four months' operations, and the stocks of spare parts are sufficient for 6 months at sea without replenishment. Helicopter fuel suffices for 150 flying hours. The frigate is ice strengthened and is able to proceed through 80 cm of solid ice. The hull has an icebreaking bow and stem lines suitable for operations in ice with only one propeller. Maximum continuous speed is 20 knots in four meter seas. The sea keeping qualities allow the ship to stand up to wind gusts of 150 knots during light ice conditions and operate in all sea conditions at speeds of 4-5 knots.

On a ship, the thrust-block is the block through which the drive of the ship's propeller is imparted to the ship. In large reciprocating-engine ships, the thrust-block was a heavy, trough-shaped casting with a bearing at each-end, wherein revolved the thrust-shaft which was interposed between the crank-shaft and the propeller-shaft proper. A number of equidistant collars, projecting from the thrust-shaft, alternated with an equal number of inverted horseshoe-shaped collars adjusted by nuts on two strong bars on the thrust-block. The horseshoe collars, which were faced with anti-friction metal, took the thrust from the shaft and transmitted it through the rods to the block, and so to the ship. These horseshoe collars were hollow and cooled by a constant flow of water through them.
In small piston marine engines the thrust-block is incorporated with a bearing, which has grooves in its lower part and a cap to fit the shaft collars.
In the thrust-block of the Parsons marine turbine, which, owing to the reaction of the steam on its blades, itself transmitted a considerable part of the thrust through its own casing, both base and cap were grooved to take flat brass rings, each divided into two parts horizontally. The thrust was transmitted from the collars to the rings, and from them to the thrust-block. The two halves of the collar were not quite aligned vertically, in order that the propeller, when moving ahead, could press on the upper half and, when reversed, on the lower half.
Later the much shorter Michell thrust-block was developed and replaced the earlier designs. In the Michell thrust-block the series of alternating collars is replaced by a single collar on the shaft and a set of rocking pads arranged in a circle on the block, each pad being able to rock slightly. The rocking motion allows the oil to wedge itself in between the collar and the pads and a film of oil being maintained even at high pressure.

The Ticonderoga Class is an American guided missile cruiser class of ship. Twenty-seven Ticonderoga Class guided missile cruisers were built between 1983 and 1994. Thirteen ships are operational in the US Navy Atlantic Fleet and fourteen in the Pacific Fleet, two of which are based in Japan in the US Naval Forces Base at Yokosuka. A number of Ticonderoga Class cruisers were deployed in the Gulf crisis in 1991 where the USS Princeton sustained mine damage. Tomahawk missiles were deployed in 1993 against targets in Iraq enforcing 'no fly' zone restrictions. The ships also deployed the Tomahawk missile against targets in Bosnia during 1995. The Ticonderoga has a full load displacement of 9,500 tons and the ship design is based on a larger version of the successful Spruance Class 8,000 ton destroyer.
The Ticonderoga Class, like the Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers, are equipped with the Aegis Combat System which integrates the ship's electronic sensors and weapons systems to engage anti-ship missile threats. Twenty-two of the twenty-seven Ticonderoga Class are fitted with two Mark 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS), each armed with eight Tomahawk missiles. Two quadruple launchers for the Boeing Harpoon surface-to-surface missile system are installed on the gun deck at the stern of the ship. The Ticonderoga Class ships are armed with the Raytheon Standard Missile 2MR surface-to-air missile 60 missiles are carried for each of the two Mark 41 Vertical Launch Systems (VLS). The first five of the Ticonderoga Class ships are not fitted with Vertical Launchers and are armed with conventional twin launchers. The ships' anti-submarine rocket is the Lockheed Martin Vertical Launch ASROC armed with the Mark 50 or Mark-46 torpedo and is launched from the Mark 41 VLS launcher. A triple tube torpedo launcher is installed in each side of the hull below the helicopter deck and at about 5.5 metres above sea level. The 324 mm tubes are capable of launching the Mark-46 Mod 5 torpedo and Mark 50 torpedo.
The ships' main guns are the United Defense MK-45 127mm/54 naval guns installed on the gun decks at the bow and stern of the ship. The guns are each capable of firing 32 kg shells to a target range of 22 kilometres at a maximum firing rate of 20 rounds per minute. In the midship position, two Raytheon Phalanx Mar |
