Abstract
Today, high speed vessels are the focus of many ship designers in both the
military and commercial maritime industries. High speed vessels provide versatility in
accomplishing a range of missions. In developing designs for high speed vessels, the
engineer must account for the response of the ship in the environment while operating at
mission essential speeds. Much of the design and simulations are computer automated
and rely on background data that comes from existing ship designs or experimental
results. Series 64, which was developed by the David Taylor Model Basin, now known
as Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, sets the benchmark for resistance
data commonly used by naval architects. To expand upon this well known series, this
research attempts to develop seakeeping data trends for scaled-up Series 64 models. The
scale used is based on a small displacement ship of 2500 tons. The results of the research
can then be used by engineers in application to the design of small displacement, high
speed ships.
