ABSTRACT:
A cargo submarine has a cargo section (2) between tapered peripheral buoyancy sections (2-5) and an on-board cargo-handling components (32-49) capable of rapid loading and unloading of large volumes of cargo. A hydrodynamic tower (14) conveys fresh air in and exhaust gasses out while traveling submerged sufficiently deep to avoid wave undulation. Dual electronic controls (51-57) in a tower bridge (27) and in a main bridge (50) are provided for large vessels. A crane (32) with automatically-adjustable weight balancing and electronic controls is telescoped from within the vessel. A shore ramp (47) and a ship ramp (44) are provided for fast and convenient motorized or manual handling of commercial or military cargo at beaches and shores without docks. Special hydrodynamic configuration and contouring result in less drag-per-length coefficient of marine vessels, resulting in less ton-mile propulsion costs than for optimized displacement-hull ships.
