Round table discussions held at the David Taylor Research Center have generated the concept of a Scout Fighter and a Carrier of Large Objects as possible warships of the future. Many considerations regarding these vessels (i.e. size, endurance, mission) are still under discussion. This report details the seakeeping study of four Scout Fighter hull forms and two Carrier of Large Objects variants. The hull forms were optimized for seakeeping. Operability calculations were performed for purposes of comparison with existing ships. Keywords: Scout fighter, Carrier of large objects, Seakeeping, Hull form design. (SDW)
