Improved Design for Seakeeping: Seaway Criteria and Related Developments

摘要

A major seakeeping workshop was held in 1975 that identified seakeeping deficiencies in our ships compared with those of our NATO allies. The workshop was intended to lead to corrective action with the help of the expertise of the attendees. Because of existing deficiencies in seaway criteria among other problems, the desired results were essentially unattainable at that time. This paper is intended to show that many of these deficiencies can now be overcome (section 2).
