Ships using the surface effect principle have been suggested as a means of improving the transport of U.S. international commerce. The functional principles of the surface effect ships (SES) appear to offer an avenue for developing transoceanic vehicles potentially capable of filling a gap in the spectrum of services now afforded by displacement ships and aircraft. The magnitude and complexity of the developments necessary to achieve a full-scale evaluation of the potentialities of large SES prompted the Department of Commerce to conduct a vigorous review of the technological problems involved in such an undertaking.
