Propulsion data collected on ships at sea in rough weather have been compared with results obtained from resistance experiments made on models towed through waves of approximately same dimensions to scale; from comparisons it became evident that loss in screw efficiency in rough water must be greater than would be expected from change in slip; with object of measuring change in screw and propulsive efficiency, series of model experiments were made at William Froude Laboratory.
