Greenies snooker US Navy

US Navy allowed greenies to start up a hybrid propulsion program for destroyers.  Musta been a bunch of pure USN desk weenies to fall for this scam.  No real sea officer would have fallen for it.  Hybrid propulsion sort of works in cars because a car only needs full power for a few seconds to accelerate to speed.  Once at speed, the power demand on a car engine drops way way down.  Hybrid cars have small engines, just enough to keep the car moving at speed and charge the battery.  To accelerate a hybrid car uses battery power.  Hybrids get slightly better fuel economy than straight gasoline powered cars, at the expense of carrying essentially twice as much propulsion machinery.  And costing $10k more than a straight gasoline powered car.  It is doubtful that the small fuel saving of a hybrid will pay off the extra $10K cost over the life of the car.
  This doesn't work in ships.  The water drag is so high all the time that the engines must produce serious power all the time to keep the ship moving.  In fact a ship's top speed occurs when the water drag matches or exceeds engine thrust.  The engines never get a break  during which they can charge batteries.   Since a ship's engines never get a chance to loaf at part throttle, carrying extra electrical equipment, generators and motors, just adds weight, it doesn't save any fuel. 
  You gotta wonder about the Navy officers who fell for this scam.  Were they Annapolis grads?  Does not Annapolis teach engineering anymore?
