This report describes an experimental investigation of the behavior in calm water and in waves of a model equipped with extremely large bow- and stern-bulbs. Results of the calm-water resistance tests are presented for the model without bulbs, and for the model with the bulbs in three different configurations. Results are also presented for tests of one model configuration both in regular and irregular waves. On the basis of the test results, the performance of the large-bulb ship is evaluated in comparison with other hull types. Practical advantages and disadvantages of the design concept for naval application are discussed. (Author)
