| Abstraksi | : | When Yarrow mounted a torpedo tube on a steam launch in 1873 the fast attack craft (FAC) became a reality and a potent threat to warships of all sizes. Led by Great Britain, the major powers developed it into the destroyer, while minor powers continued the evolution of the torpedo boat. As early as 1915 the possibilities of the planing boat had been realized: the British Coastal Motor Boat (CMB), a 55-foot stepped hydroplane, could exceed 40 knots. But as military requirements required larger vessels, the limitations of planing craft, particularly in seakeeping although also in speed-power performance, led to a renaissance of the round bilge hull. Current round bilge de-signs trace their lineage back to the German "S-boats" of World War II. They predominate in size greater than about 250 tons. This paper discusses the historical evolution of the hull forms for high performance displacement warships. The paper covers innovations such as the transom stern and more subtle refinements such as changes in proportions and coefficients. For each change the historical background, the motivation for the change (both tactical and hydrodynamic), and operational experience with the new design contrasted with the old is presented. The focus will be on FACs, but material on early destroyers is included because of their important role in the evolution of the smaller craft. Today's round bilge FAC is a refined technology which has evolved over a long time. Now that it is being challenged strongly by the V-bottom form as well as by hydrofoils, air cushion vehicles, and surface effect ships, the designer must recognize how well a current round bilge design can perform. Accordingly, data is presented showing that today's round bilge hull form has improved dramatically in seakeeping, and is now competitive with the V-bottom. |
