Abstract
Results for a mixed cathodic protection (CP) method comprising a galva nic system using sacrificial zinc anodes and an impressed current syst em, tested for 1 year on four corvette-type ships, are described. The naval vessels had been in service for approximate to 15 years prior to performing this evaluation. CP may be economically optimized using a low impressed current system, and by placing sacrificial anodes on the ships' hulls.
