seakeeping

They also had relatively poor seakeeping and a weak bridge structure.

Surfaced, they had poor seakeeping and were slow.

Their main shortcomings were underpowered machinery, a long diving time and poor seakeeping.

Following this rebuilding the vessel's seakeeping was badly affected.

The deeper Forrestal hull allowed the ships more freeboard and better seakeeping.

Seakeeping: Was used exclusively for passenger ships but now used in a variety of vessels.

Significant problems with stability and seakeeping were encountered during the second voyage, and the ship was removed from service on her return.

Hull design was also upgraded with a 'clipper' bow for better seakeeping and a sleeker look.

The results of these early destroyers was the appreciation of the need for true seakeeping and seagoing abilities.

Imperator Nikolai I was chosen as a starting point for the design because of her good seakeeping and seaworthiness.

They are generally higher powered than tramp ships with better seakeeping qualities, thus they are significantly more expensive to build.

He added a forecastle to allow for better seakeeping and to make room for officers' quarters and restored the full height of the hull aft.

FACs are usually operated in close proximity to land as they lack both the seakeeping and all-round defensive capabilities to survive in blue water.

The design of the Fremantle class called for ships with improved seakeeping, and newer equipment and weapons than those fitted to the Attack class.

They were considered to be handsome ships, with a clipper bow that provided excellent seakeeping and two raked funnels and masts.

The new positioning of the torpedo tubes enabled the extension aft of the forecastle and thus greatly improved the ships' seakeeping.

Additionally, they were well-regarded for their seakeeping, serving much of their careers in the Atlantic rather than with France's Mediterranean fleet.

However, the bow is designed with good seakeeping and open water characteristics in mind, and in heavy ice conditions the ships are turned around and operated stern first.

Yakubov and Worth state that these were the most successful Soviet submarines of the World War II era, with high speed and good seakeeping.

The ships are built to a design that is intended to reduce the ability of radar to detect them, as well improving seakeeping by locating the superstructure unusually far aft.

The design was completed at the end of June 1944 and resembled Hecht but had a better boat-shaped external casing for improved seakeeping while surfaced, and saddle tanks.

It combines a higher speed-for-length than would be possible with a conventional destroyer hull, good seakeeping at speed and a high payload: characteristics that enabled the little Gyrinus to win her famous Olympic victories.

On February 2010, the Sunset was sailed from Long Beach to a shipyard in Hawaii for the reforms, where a big concern was to make it imposing, with three stories, without sacrificing actual seakeeping.

While this speed seemed like a significant reduction, it would be measured with a realistic 95 tons of coal loaded on board, and the better seakeeping properties meant that the new ships would perform better than a "30-knotter" in any seas except for a flat calm.

Designed to match the weight and handling limits of a conventional rigid-hulled inflatable boat, the hull of the Fleet class USV is designed for good seakeeping in most sea states, and the vessels are equipped with advanced controls for autonomous navigation and operation.
