  Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks
As a result, hundreds of skipjacks were built when they first came on the scene in the 1890s and during their heyday there were as many as 2000 skipjacks on the Bay.
The first step taken by the state was to designate the skipjack as the official state boat, because of its historic and economic importance and its symbolic value as a representation of the people of Maryland and their lifestyle.
The name "skipjack" is said to have been derived from fish, such as the skipjack mackerel or skipjack tuna, that jump in and out of the water because these boats can sometimes resemble the fish as they come about quickly making continuous passes or "licks" over oyster beds.

 SKIPJACK Interim Review (July 1993)
Because SKIPJACK is but one component of a large, complex system, and because the security of communications encrypted with SKIPJACK depends on the security of the system as a whole, the review was extended to encompass other components of the system.
While the internal structure of SKIPJACK must be classified in order to protect law enforcement and national security objectives, the strength of SKIPJACK against a cryptanalytic attack does not depend on the secrecy of the algorithm.
SKIPJACK was designed to be evaluatable, and the design and evaluation approach was the same used with algorithms that protect the country's most sensitive classified information.

 Kathryn National Historic Landmark Nomination
The resulting skipjack is characterized as unframed, hard chine (angular sided versus a rounded bilge), typically cross or herring bone planked, with a V-bottomed hull form with one mast and two sails.
Rules of thumb for skipjack design include, maximum beam on deck equal to 1/3 length on deck, centerboard length is equal to 1/3 length on deck, mast length is equal to length on deck plus beam, boom length is equal to length on deck, and bowsprit length is equal to beam.
Skipjacks were comparatively inexpensive to build, easy to repair, and could be constructed by competent house carpenters or skilled oystermen; the skills of boat builders familiar with the more complicated to construct rounded bows and rounded bilges were not needed.

 Cryptanalysis of SkipJack-4XOR
SkipJack is the secret key encryption algorithm used by the US government in the Clipper chip and Fortezza PC card.
This phenomena is the combination of the XOR structure of the last Rule A round and the first Rule B round, that actually exchanges the two leftmost words, together with the change of the direction of the XOR mixing arrows from right-to-left to left-to-right.
In this note we consider variants of SkipJack which are identical to the original version except for the removal of a few XOR operations.
