ULTRA-HIGH SPEED VESSEL FORM, AND ULTRA-HIGH SPEED VESSEL

摘要

Forms of a high-speed ship which may be applied to a ship capable of traveling at a very high speed of 40 knots or faster, and which is capable of suppressing the required horsepower to as low a level as possible, and high-speed ships having such forms are provided. Submerged bodies 11 and 12 are placed below the water surface WL at the bow and stern, and the submerged bodies 11 and 12 are connected by a main hull 13 which penetrates the water surface WL. The sectional area curve of the main hull 13 is theoretically determined so that the wave resistance becomes a minimum at a Froude number set at 0.36 or greater.
