The stability, maneuvering and control characteristics of the AO 177 Class Fleet Oiler are predicted, making use of hydrodynamic coefficients determined from captive model experiments on the Horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism at the Naval Ship Research and Development Center. Comparisons between these results and those determined from free-running model experiments are considered to be reasonable. Alternative approaches for captive model experiments at NSRDC are recommended for nonlinear maneuvering and control problems for surface ships. (Author)
