This chapter determines the basic hull‐propeller characteristics using propeller design charts and a cavitation criterion. It presents two examples: solution of the optimum rate of revolution problem for a container ship and solution of the optimum diameter problem for a bulk carrier. The examples make use of propeller design charts which have been redrawn on the basis of the Wageningen B‐series polynomials and by Oosterveld and van Oossanen. The chapter summarizes the resistance estimate in the range of the design speed. The design task is defined by analyzing the given data. Based on task brake power and shaft efficiency the available delivered power is computed. The required thrust is calculated based on the resistance, service margin, and thrust deduction fraction. From ship speed and wake fraction the speed of advance of the propeller is determined. The ship speed is taken as a function of required thrust in service.
