Another example of commercial usage of gas turbines in a passenger ship is Stena Line's HSS class fastcraft ferries.

The slightly smaller HSS 900-class Stena Charisma, uses twin ABB – STAL GT35 turbines rated at 34, 000 kW gross.

The High-speed Stena HSS is the world's largest fast ferry, traveling at a speed of 46 mph, although it is capable of doing over 70 mph.

In 1996, Stena Line introduced its 20, 000 tonne HSS ( High-speed Sea Service ) vessels, which operated from Belfast to Stranraer, Holyhead to Dún Laoghaire and Hoek van Holland to Harwich.

In addition to the three 1500-passenger HSS vessels, Stena Line ordered two smaller 900-passenger HSS vessels to operate on the Gothenburg – Frederikshavn route.

Following on from this, the ship was introduced on the Stranraer to Belfast route, alongside HSS Stena Voyager and Stena Caledonia.

* Kamewa SFor fast ferry applications, e. g. the Stena HSS operated from Great Britain to Ireland / European continent.

Examples of ships using pumpjets are the fast patrol boat Dvora Mk-III craft, the HAMINA Stealth Attack craft, all Virginia Class submarines, the Stena HSS High-speed Sea Service ferries and the United States Littoral Combat Ships.

Stena, operating from the east pier in Stranraer, with 2 conventionals ( Stena Caledonia & Stena Navigator ) and the HSS fast ferry ( Stena Voyager ), while P & O, operating from Cairnryan run 2 conventionals ( European Causeway & European Highlander ) and the P & O Express fast ferry.

HSS in dock at Stranraer, with the Loch basin stretching out behindIt is this pressure on efficiency and crossing time that has led to the decision of Stena proposals to move in a few years its operations from Stranraer further north to Cairnryan to share facilities with P & O.

2 conventionals ( Stena Caledonia & Stena Navigator ) and the HSS fast ferry ( Stena Voyager ) were replaced with the Stenna Superfast 7 & 8 as part of this move.

In addition, orthopedic surgeons at HSS perform limb lengthening, a procedure that uses the body ’ s capacity to create new bone as well as the soft tissues, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves that surround and support it.

The " Total votes " and " Percentage " columns include sums of votes won by pre-election coalitions HSS had been part of and the " Total seats " column includes sums of seats won by HSS in election constituencies plus representatives of ethnic minorities affiliated with HSS.

The 25th Anniversary guitar sports a chambered basswood body and dual DiMarzio custom hum-bucking pickups with chrome covers, while the 25th Anniversary bass ( available in 4, 5-string, fretted and fret-less versions ) has an ash body and comes in H, HH ( ceramic magnets ) and HSS ( ceramic + neodymium magnets ) pickup configurations, active / passive circuitry and an active 4-band EQ with 18V power supply.

He also believed that the HSS would prevent the communists or King Peter II to came into power.

* Science, Technology and Medicine as a collective name for these academic disciplines ( as opposed to HSS, Humanities and Social Sciences )

Generally, they are classified as either high-speed steel ( HSS ) or carbide-tipped, however some recent innovations such as solid carbide bits provide even more variety for specialized tasks.

While Croatia was still under the rule of Budapest and Vienna, the HSS sought for greater autonomy, peasants ' rights and land reform.

After World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the HSS garnered significant popular and electoral support for its advocacy of an independent Croatian state, and its opposition to the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes ( which actually meant joining together the State of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with the Kingdom of Serbia ) which the party claimed would be dominated by Serbia.

The HSS advocated a federal state in which Croatia would be afforded equal status vis-à-vis Serbia, and the party platform still called for greater Croatian autonomy and eventually independence.

HSS also became umbrella for almost all opposition party in Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

But the vast majority of HSS supporters remained passive and neutral for the duration of the war as the Ustasha, the communist Partisans and the royalist Chetniks fought for control.

On elections 2000 HSS led center coalition alongside with IDS-HNS-LS and Coalition won 25 seats in parliament with 17 seats for HSS ( 16 domestic and one minority seat ).

The coalition received 6. 5 % of the popular vote and 8 out of 153 seats ( six for HSS itself ).

New for 2003 was the American Strat HSS, which features a Diamondback humbucker ( bridge ), two Tex-Mex single-coils ( neck / middle ) and S-1 switching.

The American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS ( also known as American Deluxe Fat Strat ) is the same guitar except for the addition of a Fender DH-1 humbucker in the bridge position and two Hot SCN pickups for a proper balance with the humbucking pickup.

It featured a carved maple top with hand scraped edges and cream binding, a set-neck maple neck ( bolt-on on some models ), a sleek mahogany body ( many Showmaster guitars are made from basswood or alder ; later models such as the Showmaster Elite, employ more exotic timbres such as lacewood and spalted maple for the top and back ), HSS or HH pickup configurations which consisted of Seymour Duncan ' 59 Trembucker humbucking pickups coupled with a pair of Fender Custom Shop Fat ' 50s single-coils.

Square and circular HSS have very efficient shapes for this multiple-axis loading as they have uniform geometry along two or more cross-sectional axes, and thus uniform strength characteristics.

HSS can also be used as beams, although wide flange or I-beam shapes are in many cases a more efficient structural shape for this application.

The flat square surfaces of rectangular HSS can ease construction, and they are sometimes preferred for architectural aesthetics in exposed structures, although elliptical HSS are becoming more popular in exposed structures for the same aesthetic reasons.

It uses Diameter Cx and Dx interfaces to the HSS to download user profiles and upload user-to-S-CSCF associations ( the user profile is only cached locally for processing reasons only and is not changed ).

If located in the home network, it can query the HSS with the Diameter Sh or Si interfaces ( for a SIP-AS ).

These cutting speeds may change if, for instance, adequate coolant is available or an improved grade of HSS is used ( such as one that includes cobalt ).

In the following 1995 election, SDP won 8. 93 percent of the popular vote and a total of 10 seats in the parliament, coming in fourth behind the Croatian Democratic Union ( HDZ ), Croatian Peasant Party ( HSS ) and the Croatian Social Liberal Party ( HSLS ).

High speed steel ( HSS ) blades are also available.

HSS saw blades are mainly used to cut steel, copper, aluminum and other metal materials.

If high-strength steels ( e. g., stainless steel ) are to be cut, the blades made of cobalt HSS ( e. g. M35, M42 ) should be used.

Current ( 2010 ) flash units frequently have much lower guide numbers in HSS mode than in normal modes, even at speeds below the shutter traverse time.

For example, the Mecablitz 58 AF-1 digital flash unit has a guide number of 58 in normal operation, but only 20 in HSS mode, even at low speeds.

When one considers that high-speed steel ( HSS ) had not been developed yet, the need to cool the tool becomes all the more apparent.

( HSS retains its hardness at high temperatures ; other carbon tool steels do not.

The best known was the Croatian Peasant Party, HSS, with a chequered red white field bordered green.

The Croatian Peasant Party (, HSS ) is a center and socially conservative political party in Croatia.

Despite the party's efforts, the kingdom was established, and the HSS became an opposition party in parliament.

With that goal in mind, the HSS renamed itself the Croatian Republican Peasant Party until the royal authorities forced the party to remove the word " Republican " in 1925 because of its anti-royalist connotation.
