PERFORMANCE OF MODIFIED AO 22-CLASS TANKER PREDICTED FROM TESTS WITH MODEL 4895,

Abstract

Model 4895 was constructed by the David Taylor Model Basin to represent a jumboized design of the AO 22-Class Tanker. Resistance and propulsion tests were conducted to determine the ability of the enlarged ship to maintain an acceptable speed with existing shaft horsepower of 13,500. Model tests indicate that at the design condition, the prototype of Model 4895 will at tain a speed of 17.6 knots while absorbing 13,500 shp at 101 rpm. (Author)
