Abstract
Research on the behavior of ships in waves has been accelerated greatly during the past decade. This paper reviews briefly the contributions to this field by the Experimental Towing Tank at Stevens Institute of Technology. It also outlines plans for future research and describes present and projected facilities available for the continuation of this work. Interest centers on the recent addition of a wave generator and associated equipment to permit model tests at all headings to waves in the existing square maneuvring tank.
