INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF SHIPS' SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL STABILITY ON VESSEL CONTROL IN RESTRICTED WATERWAYS. VOL. II

This report is in microfiche form. For a description of the first three of a series of experimental tasks designed to investigate the effects of ship speed in restricted waterways see preceding Abstract. This report covers the fourth task, which was designed to determine how the risk of collision varied with ship speed and the initial separation in terms of critical ranges between ships, the amounts of rudder deflection a pilot must be concerned with, and the duration of time that a possibility of collision exists.
