Review of current concepts of limits on ships' speed set by resistance of water, effect of waves, behavior of hull itself, etc; description of 3 novel warship hull designs for speeds of over 40 knots including extra slender destroyer hull, slender ship with deep, large bulbs at bow and stern, and radically new semi-submarine ship whose hull would ride totally submerged near sea's surface, but with hydrofoil-like struts projecting through it.
