The performance characteristics of the Coast Guard 95' and 82' WPB class patrol vessels are documented and compared. Ship motions in waves, maneuvering capability, tactical data, noise levels, fuel consumption, and shaft horsepower were measured and analyzed. Seakeeping performance was measured during a side-by-side test of the CGC Cape Fairweather and CGC Point Knoll in 3-foot significant waves.
