Missile Boat Start and Burnout

Swedish former Missile Boat R142 Ystad starting turbine and then performs a "burn out" start with all three turbines and 13000 Bhp taking us to +40 knots.

Reminds me of the time in the navy. Fast patrol boat, 4 engines, 4 propellers, 39 knots top speed, 400 tons gross weight. Ridiculous fuel consumption.

GE LM2500's gas turbine engines. I was a GSM2 onboard the USS Conolly. Nothing like raw power to start your day. 20, 000 shaft HP...

That accelerated quite nicely from a standstill!

[kirkkirkland]

Would have been nice to see the whole boat so we at least know what it looks like!!!

[crfsikness]

That thing got up on plane like a damn 12 foot row boat with a 20hp on it! That's some serious power right there!

Reminds me of the Brave class the Royal Navy had in the sixties. Our school was on a hill overlooking the local harbour and we 'd watch them coming out of the harbour at four knots when they were clear of the harbour multi they would open them up and disappear into the distance. I think there were three Brave Bordered, Brave Cutlass and I can 't remember the third. Too noisy to creep up on anything but they didn't need to they could outrun just about anything.

TRI turbine, TRI Kamewa drives, awesome set-up!!
Keep on rocking the free world

Gas Turbines are on a whole other level. Incredible power in small packages

[matthewspry]

It's like the starting up of the original batmobile

[McHeisenburger]

excuse me hi sorry but you appear to have got a 747 stuck in your boat somewhere

[vonbuzz]

You could ski behind it and roast hotdogs on a stick at the same time!

[adriaanboogaard]

Very cool more please. I love boats but I definitely think I would never try to waterski behind that one . I would love a ride on it.😁

[victorponce]

He was haulin

[Damien.D]

Thanks for sharing.
Love the sound of gas turbine starting up.
(beautiful boat by the way).

[BruceMusto]

That's cool as hell. Hydrofoil? I served aboard Knox (DE/FF-1052 class) and O.H. Perry (FFG-7 class); and have conducted training aboard every cruiser, destroyer, and frigate that sailed out of Pearl in the 80's and 90's; and not a single solitary one of them could do 40 knots. Damn that looks like fun.

Is there any real useful/rational reason to have jets on a boat? I'm mostly referring to the fuel vs. distance/speed /upkeep and maint./parts etc.

I was enlisted co-pilot (ET1) on USS Plainview, 2 J-79s putting out 30, 000 HP going through 2, 5ft titanium screws. 220 feet, 300 tons.
We got her up to 43 knots. Left a hell of a rooster tail all over Puget Sound in 1970.
