AOE 3204 Naval Architecture Homework 1 Assigned: Jan 18, 2011 Due: Jan 25, 2011 The purpose of this homework is to familiarize the student with the basic characteristics of vessels and to formulate an intuitive sense of fundamental differences between hull types. From the following list choose three types of vessels. For each vessel write a one paragraph description of the primary uses or unique traits of the design and list typical principal characteristics, eg. length (L), beam (B), draft (T), volume of displacement (∇), displacement (∆ = ρg∇), block coefficient (CB = ∇/(LBT )), and cruise speed. This information can be found from referencing periodicals (available in the student lounge), text books, or even online searches.
