Difficulty of course keeping in following seas, particularly tendency to broach-to, is considered; linear equations for unsteered motion of ships in calm water are extended to regular waves, for application to steered motion; model motions are noted, and also different methods of rudder control; automatically steered ship is treated as servomechanism; linear theory developed is found inadequate, and reasons examined.
