Tests on 1/60th scale models of tanker and two cargo ships and on 1/64th and 1/128th scale models of modern passenger liner, to provide accurate data on wind resistance of certain modern ship designs; results are shown in non-dimensional form; possible inaccuracies in applying model results to ship conditions are discussed.
