Seakeeping data for air cushion supported landing craft have been produced during investigations sponsored either directly or indirectly by the Amphibious Assault Landing Craft Program Office. These data have been brought together in this report so that comparisons can be made between the Aerojet General Corporation and Bell Aerospace Company designs. Drag in waves is provided as well as motions from random wave experiments and experiments conducted in surf. Among the data presentations, response amplitude operators and significant motions and accelerations can be found. Various configurations -- from the early C150-50's to the current JEFF boats -- have been considered. (Author)
