Hybrid Computer Simulation of Maneuvering During Underway Replenishment. Phase II.

Abstract

This report describes the second phase of a hybrid computer simulation of two ships maneuvering during underway-replenishment operations. Two identical Mariner class merchant ships are used in this study. However, the simulation program is easily adapted to any class of surface ship. The ships' dynamics are simulated on an EAI 680 analog computer, while the nonlinear interaction forces are generated on a PDP 15 (DEC) digital computer.
