It is noted that increase in attainable speed of modern merchant ships in rough seas is primarily problem of reducing motions rather than increasing power; possible measures for reducing motions, including special devices for control of rolling and pitching, changes in hull form above and below waterline, and modification of ship proportions to provide greater slenderness, are discussed.
