ASNE Day (continued) bow and stern. Designs of one of the authors, Mr. Ingvason, are de- scribed and discussed. His twin- skeg, integrated hull design concept, which combines good hydrodynamic features with producibility, is ana- lyzed by model testing in compari- son to a recent U.S. Navy tanker design, the T-AO-187 Class. Gains on the order of 15 percent at the ship's design speed are predicted. Major producibility concepts and features are also discussed. These concepts capitalize on the experi- ence of several Swedish shipyards. 3:15 pm—"Ship Design Computer Programs—An Interpolative Ap- proach," by Kenneth S. Brower and Kenneth W. Walker. Naval ship design synthesis com- puter programs, the original devel- opment of which was pioneered by the U.S. Navy, are now used by the Navy to conduct feasibility design studies and to conduct reverse engi- neering analyses of foreign ships. The use of these computer programs has substantially reduced the time and cost of conducting feasibility design trade-off studies and has al- lowed the ship design to develop very accurate design solutions that can be effectively used as the basis for preliminary and contract de- sign.
