 Selected Hulls 



(1) Being Cg equal, the shape of the transverse section area diagram has an 

 almost negligible influence on wave bending moment in confused sea; the 

 same may be said, being Cw equal, for the shape of the waterline. There- 

 fore the location of the center of buoyancy has a scarce influence, so that 

 it may be assumed as a constant for the systematic calculation. 



(2) In tanker or bulk-carrier-type hulls, a nearly constant relationship has 

 been found among all fineness coefficients, so that it has been decided 

 not to investigate any longer, for instance, the influence of C^ , being Cg 

 equal, because these variations are very slight in practice. 



In the systematic calculation, all values of C^ (i.e., Cb and C^ ) have been 

 associated to each couple of values L/g and L/. , totaling 112 combinations of 

 nondimensional parameters.
