The development of a composite suction bell and pump bowl for the Coast Guard's CCN-150-5C cargo transfer pump is reported. The effort was undertaken in order to determine the feasibility of using composite components to reduce the weight of this pump. The reduction in weight could benefit the Coast Guard's Strike Teams by increasing deployment proficiency and decreasing personnel injury. First, an all stainless steel CCN-150-5C was tested at the Atlantic Strike Team's test facility at Ft. Dix, New Jersey. The tests conducted showed that the CCN-150-5C did not experience large loads during normal operation. Next, a composite suction bell and pump bowl were designed to retrofit into an existing CCN-150-5C. The parts were fabricated and the partially composite CCN-150-5C assembled. Subsequent testing of this pump showed that the composite parts performed as well as their metallic counterparts. Overall, the pump's weight was reduced from 199 pounds to 143 pounds, a 28% reduction. Several options for future work are outlined at the end of the report. The final recommendation is that a joint Navy and Coast Guard cargo transfer pump be designed, from the ground up, making extensive use of composite materials early in the design stage in order to realize full potential benefits.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) has successfully completed the Phase 11 demonstration of a seawater hydraulic-powered CCN-150 transfer pump. The objective of this demonstration was to compare performance parameters for the CCN-150 transfer pump powered by a Fenner F60 seawater motor against the transfer pump powered by the standard Rexroth oil hydraulic motor. Tests of the seawater hydraulic-powered CCN-150 transfer pump were conducted between 46 and 51 horsepower due to available power sources. Scaling of the transfer pump performance curves showed that the seawater hydraulic-powered CCN-150 transfer pump achieved equivalent performance to the oil hydraulic-powered CCN-150 pump system, confirming that a seawater hydraulic design for the CCN-150 transfer pump is practical using commercial components.

The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.
