Operation WIGWAM. Project 3.2. Hull Response and Shock Motion

Abstract

A total of 140 velocity meters, 12 accelerometers, 132 shock spectrum recorders and 12 displacement gages were installed in the 3 submarine and 3 surface targets for the measurement of hull response and shock motions. The oscillograph data were recorded automatically at remote recording stations. Considerable data were obtained from all targets. These are tabulated and discussed in a preliminary way in this interim report. Some conclusions are presented.
