The USS Albacore is a first-of-its-kind research submarine. Created in the early 1950s with the belief that underwater warfare was the way of the future post-World War II, its teardrop shape would become the blueprint for submarines. This vessel was launched in the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in 1953 and played an important role in submarine engineering research, including propeller testing. After decades of work, Portsmouth, New Hampshire became the Albacore&rs […]

Newmarket, New Hampshire – Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) blade inspection is a complex task that requires some additional considerations. The best option is to inspect the propeller in-situ while everything is mounted, synced, and set at the forward pitch setting. However, due to their size and the ability to disassemble the propeller’s blades (and spares), individual CPP blades are frequently what the repair facility receives – in other words, the blades are not always ac […]

*This article was originally published in the July/August 2023 edition of Professional BoatBuilder Magazine, written by Dieter Loibner. With all the advances in automation and electrification of boat propulsion systems, propellers remain critical to the task of converting power into propulsion. Made of bronze, nickel, aluminum, stainless steel, or other alloys, they remain mostly out of sight and out of mind as long as they are pushing boats through the water […]
