This report documents the results of ship motion trials performed on the 205-foot WMEC's USCGC TAMAROA and USCGC CHEROKEE. The trials were conducted in April 1981. Roll motions are presented together with pitch motions in head seas. The trials were run using six orientations to the principal wave direction and three different ship speeds. The results of the trials between the two ships are compared. There appears to be no measurable difference in the roll response characteristics of the two vessels, one of which was ballasted and one unballasted. Test personnel who rode with vessels could detect no ride difference as well. (Author)
