Takeda discovered the hull of a Type 4 Kaiten under one of the buildings in August 1989, an attestation to the history of the site.

Type 97 hull was of riveted construction with the engine in the rear compartment.

The tank carried two 7. 7 mm Type 97 machine guns, one on the front left of the hull and the other in a ball mount on the rear of the turret.

The Type 59 has a conventional post-war layout with the fighting compartment at the front, an engine compartment at the rear, and a cast dome-shaped gun turret in the centre of the hull.

* Type 69-Prototype based on the Type 59 hull, fitted with new 580 hp diesel engine, Type 69 100 mm smoothbore gun, IR searchlight, and laser rangefinder.

To accommodate more equipment and ammunition, the Type 98's turret is slightly larger than that of the Type 90, resulting in a gap between the turret and hull in the front.

It is based on the hull of the older Type 63 ( which in turn is based on the Soviet PT76 amphibious light tank ).

The marines have been seen operating the new Type 95 self-propelled air defense platform on an amphibious hull similar to the Type 77 APC.

This tank features the same turret as the Type 63A, but is on a lighter chassis that may perform better on water than the original Type 63A hull.

( The US Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine,, used a modified Type XXI hull shape.

Our building time was slightly over 400 hours -- but the total cost for the hull with Fiberglas bottom, sink, head and hardware was under $800.

The hull was also a result of almost a decade of work.

As it was, while Central wrangled among itself, Robert Tanner sneaked out of the pilots' barracks, out to the field and over to Helva's slim metal hull.

The first ironclad battleship, with iron armour over a wooden hull, La Gloire, was launched by the French Navy in 1859 ; she prompted the British Royal Navy to build a counter.

The following year they launched Warrior, which was twice the size and had iron armour over an iron hull.

The " open-topped " design format of the Panzerjäger vehicles was succeeded by the Jagdpanzer '(" hunting tanks ") which mounted the gun in true casemate-style superstructures, completely enclosing the crew compartment in armor that would usually be integral to the hull.

It was developed on the T-54 hull in 1951 ; series production started in 1955.

The hull was long and narrow, with a relatively shallow draft.

The bow was either raised in a forecastle or covered under a turtleback ; underneath this were the crew spaces, extending 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 the way along the hull.

The largest section comprising approximately two thirds of the centre hull was raised on 8 March 2001.

The SP and ID numbers were used parenthetically after each boat's or ship's name to identify it ; although this system pre-dated the modern hull classification system and its numbers were not referred to at the time as " hull codes " or " hull numbers ," it was used in a similar manner to today's system and can be considered its precursor.

For example, gun cruiser USS Boston ( CA-69 ) was converted to a gun / missile cruiser, changing the hull number to CAG-1.

Once an older NOAA ship leaves service, a newer one can be given the same hull number ; for example, " S 222 " was assigned to NOAAS Mount Mitchell ( S 222 ), then assigned to NOAAS Thomas Jefferson ( S 222 ), which entered NOAA service after Mount Mitchell was stricken.

The ship was similar in hull section to the Nydam ship with flaired topsides.

The raised prow extended about 3. 7m above the keel and the hull was estimated to draw 750mm when lightly laden.

The hull was waterproofed with animal hair, wool, hemp or moss drenched in pine tar.

From the outside the rope ran through the blade, through the round block and topsides and was fastened inside the hull.

In 1892-93 a full size near replica of the Gokstad ship, the viking, built by the Norwegian Magnus Andersen in Bergen. It was used to sail the Atlantic. It had a deeper keel with 1. 5m draught to stiffen the hull and a range of non authentic triangular sails to help performance and big fenders on each gunwhale filled with reindeer hair to give extra bouyancy in case of swamping.

The Schwimmpanzer II was a modified version of the Panzer II which, at 8. 9 tons, was light enough to float with the attachment of long rectangular buoyancy boxes to either side of the tank's hull.

The Tauchpanzer or deep-wading tank ( also referred to as the U-Panzer or Unterwasser Panzer ) was a standard Panzer III or Panzer IV medium tank with its hull made completely water-proof by sealing all sighting ports, hatches and air intakes with tape or caulk.

1931 ( with riveted hull and turrets ).

A number of T-26s produced at the end of 1932 – 1933 had a riveted and welded hull.

Four technological modifications of turrets existed, and they were mounted on tanks in different combinations ( for instance, a tank with a riveted hull could have riveted and welded turrets ).

3 prototypes produced ( with partially riveted hull )

British experts had viewed the mock-up in 1940 and identified several flaws — the high profile, the hull mounted gun, radio down in the hull ( instead of turret ), smooth tracks, riveted and insufficient armour, and little attention to splash-proofing the joints.

** Stretched riveted hull, 1 x Chrysler A-57 Multibank engine, made up of 5 4. 12 litre 6-cyl L-head car engines ( block upwards ) mated to a common crankshaft, displacement 21 litres, 470 hp @ 2700rpm.

** Twin GM 6-71 diesel variant of riveted hull M3.

The hull was made of riveted steel plates, 1 inch ( 25 mm ) thick at the front and over most of the turrets, and about 3 / 4 inch ( 19 mm ) thick on the rear of the hull.

The tank had riveted hull, was powered by AEC A189 135 hp petrol engine and equipped with a 2 pdr.

The Sherman VC and IC variants are easily distinguished by their lower hulls ; the VC having a riveted lower hull with a curved shape while the IC has a welded and angled lower hull.

To save weight several innovative technologies would be applied: the use of light alloys ; replacing the original chassis and turret using riveted armour plates with a cast hull and welded dome-shaped turret ; the use of sloped armour and finally the use of the turret configuration already in development for the Char G1, featuring a gun mount on the bottom of the tank, obviating the need to install a heavy gun mantlet.
