8. It is recommended that high-voltage conducting materials and improved 

 dielectrics for cable applications of the type projected for Navy use 

 be developed. 



9. More cost-effective corrosion prevention technioues than the use of 

 nickel-steel alloys and titanium need to be developed and subjected 

 to long (measured in years) ocean conditions for verification. 



A comprehensive outline of E-M cable technology is shown in Table 

 IX-1 to provide an at-a-glance comparison of the areas of recommended 

 research with those more advanced as determined by this state-of-the- 

 art study.
