Review of recent knowledge of six oscillatory motions of ships at sea; reduction of speed in waves, pitch, surge, heave, roll and directional stability; in regular waves maximum pitching amplitudes do not necessarily occur at synchronism or at wave lengths equal to ship length; absolute motions are less at high than low Froude numbers when wave length is moderate; maximum amplitudes of motions may be expected at high speeds in very long waves.Bibliography.
