Marine Turbine Retrofit

The 1.3.1 game update (and later versions) changed the way the Goliath engines function when stacked. As a result, 2 of the 4 Goliath’s on each side were rendered useless for thrust on the Mk 1 UTMD Storm Force Marine Turbines. After an extended overhaul in dry dock, the turbines were upgraded to a Mk 2 variant design that is now fully compatible with version 1.4.3 and later.

Description

The Untied Technologies Marine Division (UTMD) HCS-16 Hurricane Hydrofoil Cruiser. 400 tons of awesome ocean-blasting power and capable of Storm Force speeds in excess of 200 knots!

A stock aircraft called HCS-16 Hurricane. Built with 457 of the finest parts, its root part is cupola.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.5.

Marine Turbine Tuning Sea Trials Complete!

This update was required for 1.4.4 to add stability and lift capability of the hydrofoils, but in the process a few other nice features were added/adjusted.
• New upper engineering deck boom cranes! If KAS winches are attached, you can hoist stuff up to the hangar and flight deck
• Stern seablades height adjusted to apply less downforce on the forward blades
• Mid-ship seablades adjusted for increased leverage/lifting capability and stability
• Removed mid-ship bulkhead to improve aerodynamics
• Adjusted vertical stabilizers for improved yaw control at speed
• Additional boarding ladders have been added so Kerbals have more options to climb out of the water
• Added disposable drydock deployment gear. The craft can now drive itself to the water for deployment!
• Additional bow lighting added for nighttime ops
• Redesigned Foc'sle winch opening to allow KIS/KAS crates and Kerbals to be hoisted up and stored on deck
• Added a Mk1 Command Pod to the Foc'sle equipment mount area to allow quick and easy crew transfer
• Priority vessel name set to maximum of 20
