When the project becomes funded is the time for engineering.

I would recommend that the project be entitled, "Firefighting apparatus
for
seagoing vessels."

When they were getting all the placer gold in California, they would
build dams upstream with pipelines to large nozzles, I think bigger
than anything ever used for fire fighting. They would wash every bit
of sand and gravel in a canyon downstream into the sluices. Also all
the soil and vegetation. They had the mineral rights, meaning the
right to **** it up for thousands of years to come. There is a
fountain in Arizona the puts the water up 560 feet. The ultimate
nozzle. And they think handguns are dick substitutes, but whatever.
