SECOND SEASON RESULTS FROM SHIP RESPONSE INSTRUMENTATION ABOARD SL-7 CLASS CONTAINERSHIP S.S. SEA-LAND MCLEAN IN NORTH ATLANTIC SERVICE (SL-7-9)

This report contains data, with appropriate evaluation and discussions, collected during the second season (October 1973-March 1974) aboard the S.S. SEA-LAND McLEAN. The instrumentation system generated more than 60,000 half-hour intervals of analog data from over 100 transducers. Parametric studies of longitudinal, horizontal, and torsional stress are presented, and the response of the ship to a severe storm is discussed in detail. (Author)
