    Abstract

    The dangers associated with high waves coming over a helicopter low flight deck is well known by many naval personnel. Waves have been known to damage helicopter engines and nearly washed sailors overboard. This barricade of special designed units will solve this problem completely and without a great cost to the Navy.

    2. A water barricade.

    3. A water barricade constructed with geometric units and each said geometric unit having a means for fastening as claimed in claim 1, said means is tie cords.

    Description

    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

    [0005] FIG. 1 is a partial, side view of the stem of a ship.

    [0006] FIG. 2 is a side view of a solid unit mounted on an existing unit by a hooking method.

    [0007] FIG. 3 is a side view of a solid unit showing its pan shape and tie cords.

    [0008] FIG. 4 is a rear view of FIG. 3.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    [0009] Refer to FIG. 1. There are presently existing units 10 with safety nets placed around the stern 20 of some ships 30, but they cannot stop high waves of water. These existing units 10 with safety nets can be raised or lowered 40.

    [0010] Refer to FIG. 2. A solid unit 50 can be placed on each existing unit 10 by its hooks 50A. Each solid unit 50 can deflect high waves and winds 60. Many solid units 50 around the stern 20 of a ship 30 will form a barricade to high waves and winds 60. The adjacent solid units 50 should be nearly touching each other. If the outer surfaces 70 of the solid units 50 are painted white this would greatly increase the visibility of the flight deck.

    [0011] Refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. A pan shaped, solid unit 50 can be molded or made from several parts mended together. The solid unit 50 can be made from a metal or a non-metal. The unit 50 should be relatively strong, lightweight and economical. Tie cords 50B are shown in the above figures. The pan should be shallow.

    [0012] These solid units 50 can be used only by ships in a Battle Group or on special missions where high speed is very important. Other navies of our allies may have the same problem.
