Although some of the earliest attempts to apply mechanical power to the propulsion of ships involved some type of waterjet, it is only in recent years that marine waterjet propulsion has begun to gain acceptance and to challenge the long-established dominance of the screw propeller. In the last few years there has been a remarkable increase, both in the number of waterjet-propelled vessels, worldwide, and in the number of waterjet manufacturers. These developments seem to fly in the face of accepted theory whereby it has long been taught that waterjets are inherently lass efficient than screw propellers. This paper seeks to examine the backround and underlying theory of waterjet propulsion which may help to explain the present resurgence of interest in this form of propulsion. A review of some leadingwaterjet propulsor manufacturers products is presented, with examples of their application. In the course of the paper, many aspects of marine waterjet propulsion technology are touched upon.
