Application of Wavemaking Resistance Theory- 

 near the stern of the ship is greatly complicated by the viscosity effects. It is 

 very difficult to estimate the wavemaking ability of the afterbody of a ship. For 

 this reason we cannot expect the theory to give an accurate prediction. The 

 theory is used in the paper for obtaining relatively good hull forms. 



In conclusion, I would like to thank all the discussers for their valuable 

 comments.
