When dealing with damaged stability, it is necessary to find waterline at which ship will float after particular compartment is damaged; with usual methods for approximating end drafts some doubt must exist as to accuracy of trim because of large values involved; 2 methods are described whereby waterplane at which ship will float after damage can be obtained with high degree of accuracy; they are based on assumption that, over limited range of draft, Bonjean curves may be regarded as straight lines; calculations may be extended to consider effect of damage on longitudinal strength.
