Comparative Powering Characteristics for a 154-Foot High-Speed PGM Motor Gunboat in Waves with and without Transom Wedges from Tests of Model 4950

Abstract

A model (4950) of a high-speed PGM motor gunboat was self-propelled in smooth water and regular waves with and without transom wedges. The results indicate that the required power and thrust increase due to ahead seas is greater with the wedges than without. The total thrust is, however, less in a seaway with the wedges than without
