Said underwater turbine is already present: the prop. As a bonus, it can reduce rigging loads at hull speed by dissipating some energy.

- thinkingkong 3y agoDrag via the prop is nowhere going to reduce load at all. The resistence is the same and the force is square of the speed and surface area. So some drag ain’t doing anything. Even in a dangerous sea a drogue and lines would help, but way more than the surface area of a slowly or free spinning prop would offer.
