Seakeeping experiments with a model of a small aircraft carrier are described. Two above-water bow configurations, one V-shaped and one highly flared, are compared. The V-shaped bow is found to pose a lesser risk of structural damage in severe conditions but to be subject to many more small impacts in all conditions. (Author)
