Testing the waters with NDT technique

摘要

Babcock International has created a non-destructive-testing (NDT) technique for naval ship tailshafts that could reduce assessment time from 18 weeks to one month. After being qualified for use last year, the technique will be applied next month for the first time on Trafalgar-class submarine HMS Trenchant during the current Revakdation and Maintenance Period (RAMP) being undertaken by Babcock at Devonport Royal Dockyard.
