COMMANDANT'S INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL SERIES. VOLUME II. MANEUVERING AND STOPPING

The report contains 5 papers on research into methods and techniques for improving the maneuverability and stopping ability of supertankers as follows: from Japan, a paper on the results of experiments on a full size ore carrier utilizing underwater parachutes to reduct the stopping distance; from the United Kingdom, 4 papers as follows: the results of model tests using a conventional and a rotating cylindre rudder designed to study the possibility of conducting shallow water experiments to develop shallow water maneuvering characteristics; a paper on the application of rotating cylinders to ship maneuvering; the results of model tests of a tanker fitted with a steerable ducted propeller in both deep and shallow water; and the results of model tests of a tanker with a passive version of the bow duct stopping and maneuvering device.
