DESTROYER SEAKEEPING, U.S. AND U.S.S.R.

The results of the comparative destroyer seakeeping study are discussed and cover the following aspects of seakeeping: major ship design features which influence seakeeping ability; results of slamming, deck wetness and roll stabilization comparisons; results of combining slamming, deck wetness and roll stabilization characteristics in an overall seakeeping comparison; discussion of the operational advantages enjoyed by destroyers with good seakeeping ability; and, results of comparing the predicted seakeeping ability of the new patrol frigate, DD-963, DLGN-36, and DLGN-38 destroyer designs with present U.S. destroyers.
