Account of experiments at Swedish State Shipbuilding Experimental Tank with series of models of fast cargo liners; majority of vessels have length of 400 to 450 ft; they are generally run at speeds between 16 and 17 knots for 400 ft ship and 17 to 18 knots for 450 ft ship; object of paper is to determine effect of longitudinal distribution of displacement and, if possible, optimum position of center of buoyancy.
