A project was established at the David W. Taylor Naval Ship R and D (DTNSRDC) to assist the U.S. Coast Guard in the evaluation of a design for a 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter (WMEC). This report presents powering predictions from fully appended model experiments with stock propellers 4507 and 4508 at two displacements corresponding to a 13-foot (3.96 m) and 14-foot (4.27 m) drafts respectively. Prior to the powering experiments an optimum rudder angle was selected at the design displacement and speed. (Author)
