FIRST SEASON RESULTS FROM SHIP RESPONSE INSTRUMENTATION ABOARD THE SL-7 CLASS CONTAINERSHIP S.S. SEA-LAND MCLEAN IN NORTH ATLANTIC SERVICE (SL-7-8)

This report contains data, with appropriate evaluation and discussions, collected during the first season on board the S.S. SEA-LAND McLEAN. Data collection began with westbound Voyage 1 on October 8, 1972 and terminated with the eastbound passage of Voyage 12 on April 5, 1973. A total of 80 data tapes were recorded containing in excess of 50,000 separate data intervals from more than 100 transducers. Discussions include a description of the digitized data, comparisons of stresses with sea state, simultaneous response data from all transducers during selected portions of a rough voyage, and a consideration of torsional responses.
