SURFACE SHIP HYDRODYNAMIC DESIGN PROBLEMS AND R AND D NEEDS

The operational effectiveness of conventional surface ships of the U.S. Navy is compromised by many design deficiencies related to the hydrodynamic aspects of surface ship performance. These deficiencies in many cases have resulted in ships which either fail to meet performance requirements, or which are larger and more costly, both to acquire and to operate, than necessary.
