Launch calculations for 445-ft oil tanker of 11,000 tons deadweight, and theoretical stresses likely to be experienced by hull on its passage down ways; during launch longitudinal strains were measured and compared with calculated values; static bending test carried out on ship afloat yielded stress bending moment relationship for calculating launching stresses, on assumption that dynamic effects were negligible.
