A closed coolant circulating system for a watercraft, for traveling along a surface of a body of water, containing a supply of coolant that is caused to flow through the coolant circulating system. The watercraft comprises a hull and an engine. The watercraft also comprises a heat exchanger formed from heat conductive material and having a fluid path defined therein with an inlet port and an outlet port. The heat exchanger has a heat exchanging exterior surface and is mounted to the hull such that the heat exchanging exterior surface constitutes a portion of the exterior surface of the hull that is normally disposed below the surface of the body of water. The heat conductive material of the heat exchanger allows the heat absorbed by the coolant to dissipate from the coolant to the body of water via the heat exchanging exterior surface as the coolant flows through the fluid path.

The method of claim 11, wherein the maximum laser beam intensity is increased for each new trial, whereby the same splice may be used for each successive heating trial. 13. An optical transmission line comprising: a dispersion-compensating fiber having a core doped with GeO2,and a ring around the core doped with fluorine; a length of a second transmission fiber; and a length of bridge fiber having a core doped with GeO2,having the same diameter and refractive index as the dispersion-compensating fiber core, the bridge fiber having a first end spliced to the dispersion-compensating fiber and a second end spliced to the second transmission fiber, the bridge fiber having a ring surrounding its core, the bridge fiber ring being doped with fluorine at a lower concentration, and having a larger diameter, than the dispersion-compensating fiber ring; wherein the splice between the dispersion-compensating fiber and the second transmission fiber has been heated to a maximum temperature to cause a measurable reduction in splice loss and then cooled to room temperature according to a temperature ramp, such that the reduction in splice loss is maintained. 0, Jedlicka, 464/087; US-4413569, 19831100, Mulcahy; US-4416203, 19831100, Sherrick; US-4430065, 19840200, Peterson; US-5237933, 19930800, Bucksbee; US-5295670, 19940300, Tsukamoto et al., 267/140.5; US-6006674, 19991200, Ahmadian et al.
