MODEL TEST RESULTS AND PREDICTED EHP FOR AN 86-FOOT PERSONNEL BOAT, FROM TESTS OF MODEL 4675

Abstract

Smooth-water model tests were made of an 86-ft personnel boat designed for all-weather operation. The model was tested for ehp at full-scale displacements of 130,000 lb, 140,000 lb, and 150,000 lb. In addition, at one speed and displacement, the lines of flow were determined by the acid-trace method, in order to find the appropriate location for the bilge keels.
