From an examination of the deficiencies of the existing cable-repair ships operated by the British Post Office, the specification of the new ships is given in terms of the operational and performance requirements. The procedures involved in the design of the new cable-repair ships are then described, including an account of the tests made with models of the ships. Particular emphasis is given to a description of the manoeuvrability tests in the Solent, using a 2-man operated, 1/12 th scale model. The article concludes with a brief description of the construction work so far completed.
