MOST ships, whether they are monohulls, multihulls, displacement hulls, planing hulls or semi displacement hulls, have a bow(s), stern(s), starboard, portside, external deck(s), superstructure(s), keel(s) and are oriented along their horizontal central longitudinal axis between their bow and their stern. They are sensitive in how they orient themselves to waves that may occur in Beaufort Scale numbers 0-12 and this sensitivity increases dangerously as Beaufort Scale numbers increase and wave size increases. SSS is a spinning (rotating) stabilized ship and is dissimilar to most ships due to its rotationally symmetrical wetted surface around its vertical axis, active spinning (rotational) ship stabilization and passive ship's shape stabilization. Due to these unique active and passive stabilization features, SSS has extraordinary stability.
