The Navy used an earlier version of the Dyna-Cam in the Mark 46 torpedo. It
was 9" in diameter and had an rpm of about 6,000 which boosted the HP. But
the overall life TBO was much reduced. Sorry, I don't remember the actual
numbers. We estimate that if we built a conventional Dyna-Cam in the same
size it would probably be about 75 HP at reasonable rpm's.
