Q

How does LCB affect squat.

A

The LCB will dictate at which end the vessel will sink more due to the effects of squat.

Q

What are the signs that a vessel has entered shallow water conditions.

A
  1. Maximum Ship Squat Increases 2. Mean Bodily Sinkage Increases 3. Ship will generally develop excess trim by the head or stern 4. Wave making increases 5. Ship becomes more sluggish to maneuver 6. Draught indicators on the bridge will indicate changes in the end drafts 7. Prop RPM will decrease, upto 20% of service RPM. 8. Drop in speed 9. Ship may begin to vibrate suddenly due to resonant frequencies of the entrained water. 10. Rolling, pitching, and heaving will be reduced 11. Mud appearing in the water around the vessel 12. Tactical diamter will increase 13. Stopping times increase 14. Rudder effectiveness decreases. 15. Width of wake increases.

Q

Does rate of turn increase with decrease in UKC

A

No. Rate of turn is constant, for practical pourposes, but turning circle diameter increases.

Q

Does steering on a directionally unstable ship improve in shallow water?

A

Yes. So long as it does not have a high block coefficent and ends up squatting at the bow.

17
Q

Does a ship carry further in deep water or shallow water? (MacElrevey)

A

Shallow Water
