Preliminary study of transoceanic surface effect ship (SES) (GEM) is made to evaluate its commercial feasibility; ship specifications of operating height and speed are determined for ocean environment, and range of sizes is considered to define power requirements; powerplant weight is critical factor; study concludes that construction of nuclear-powered SES is feasible using present technology; further development of nuclear power-plant would result in competitive ship.
