An exterior view of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Divison’s Large Cavitation Channel in Memphis, Tenn., on July, 25, 2024. The LCC is one of the world’s largest and most advanced high-speed, variable-pressure water tunnel facilities and is currently being used for cavitation erosion prevention testing. Site Director Matt Brantz led a tour of the facility as part of the Cavitation-Resistant Materials and Coating Workshop, which featured several Carderock partners from academia and government institutions.
Carderock is one of the Navy’s pre-eminent research and development facilities that specializes in critical ship design components headquartered in West Bethesda, Md. The Carderock Division supports small-scale model testing and evaluation of next-generation surface ships and underwater vessels. (U.S. Navy photo by Edvin Hernandez)
