As part of the Special Performance Trials of the USS RIGEL (AF58), tests were conducted to collect data on the performance of the ship's steering gear and on the response of the vessel during various types of turning maneuvers. In addition, torque in the main propulsion shafting was measured during acceleration and deceleration runs, high speed turns, and during steady steaming in the ahead and astern directions. The trials were conducted under favorable operating conditions, and the data are considered to be reliable. (Author)
