Ann: Licensing agreement to manufacture PFOAM, page-80

Don't hold your breath on the USN trials. It will happen IMO, but could be some time before any substantial orders come through.

By far the biggest risk for all ships, and warships in particular, is fire. If CFOAM can assist in the control of fire spread in a ship, and can be proven to do so, there is no limit.

Additionally, weight minimisation in a ships superstructure is critical. Many navy ships have their superstructures made out of aluminium which has been shown to increase the fire spread. Read a little about the RN and their experiences in the Falkland War. Ship that could have been saved were lost once the aluminium superstructures failed. Again, this is not going to happen overnight and could take years.

First we'll see some testing, then some evaluation, then some more testing - and so it goes.
