Naval interest in sea animal locomotion (SAL) is based on possible application to underwater vehicles, in areas of propulsion and fluid systems; data presented indicating superior performance characteristics of SAL as compared to propulsion systems with respect to speed and noise, wakelessness, power and efficiency; aspects of SAL considered; fins and appendages, surface roughness and lubrication, surface elasticity and damping properties, pressure sensitivity and response, and body motions.
