On February 4, 1986 the pouring of the University of New Orleans (UNO) Ship Offshore University Laboratory was begun. This paper covers the initial stages of the design development and summarises the unique features of the towing tank now under construction. The tank is configured for three purposes: i) conventional ship research in deep water with calm water or waves; ii) offshore structure testing with provision for observation and anchoring; and iii) shallow water research in calm water, current, and waves.
