EVENT DESCRIPTION
In his presentation, Mark will cover the evolution of the US Navy’s hydrofoil development program from the 1950's to the 1970's, which led to the design decisions on the Patrol Hydrofoil - Missile (PHM) Program in the mid-1970's timeframe.
This will be a joint virtual meeting between ASNE/IHS/SD-5/SNAME.
