Naval and Merchant Ship Length Distributions.

Abstract

This technical memorandum provides statistical data that enable one to determine the length of ship targets that a FLIR must be designed to acquire, classify and identify at operationally useful ranges if it is to be effective against any preselected percentage of the number or tonnage of the world's ships. Ship population distributions and ship tonnage distributions according to length are plotted in the form of histograms and curves of cumulative frequency of occurrence. Data are presented in various combinations for U.S., U.S.S.R. and world merchant and naval combatant and support vessels.
