Not entirely sure this is where it belongs, but hell, it's hardly general hardware
Me and a couple of friends had a discussion regarding coastal corvettes, more specifically the ones that are propelled by gas turbines, for example the Visby Corvette.
The discussion was pretty much about how exactly these ships are actually propelled.
One thing that kept coming up was the difference between the propulsion of these ships and that of a jet fighter.
Anyways, what Im really looking for a crash course on how the actual propulsion of these things work, I've found lots of sites with info on corvettes and such, but none go into detail about how the propulsion actually works.
Bear in mind, Im a *NIX sysadmin, and my friends are one electrican and one law student, so this is a layman's discussion at it's worst
Anyone?
