ADDITIONAL SEAKEEPING MODEL TESTS OF TWO U.S. COAST GUARD NOTIONAL DESIGNS OF 110 FT AND 120 FT WPB HULLS; FINAL REPT

The research results presented in this report are concerned with the seakeeping characteristics of two Notional WPB Designs, the 1 1 0 FT WPB and the 120 FT WPB. Model tests of the two hulls were conducted at 10 knots in irregular head seas having significant wave heights of 12.5% of the beam and at speeds from 25 to 70 knots in irregular head seas having a significant wave height of 20% of the beam. Spectral analyses were performed on the motions and accelerations, including the 1/3 octave RMS accelerations. All data were scaled to full size and are tabulated.
