Abstract

This report details the maneuvering in waves capability for Underway Replenishment (UNREP) of the T-ADC(X) cargo ship. It contains a description of software and computer ship models used; a synopsis of the investigation methodology; and the results of the computer study. The results include course deviation, motions (heave, roll, pitch, yaw), as well as rudder size required to maintain heading at UNREP speeds.
