Definitions

  • a ship hull of the trimaran type where the middle part of the hull extends downwards to a depth below the side hulls and where the middle part terminates in a rounded bulb, the middle part having a substantially shorter lengthwise extension than the side hulls and being terminated a distance forward of the aft end of the ship hull.
  • the rounded bulb has the shape of a torpedolike body, the front end of which extends freely forwards of the connection to the main hull.
  • the bulb or the torpedolike body in accordance with the invention will therefore be situated at a greater depth than the rest of the bottom of the hull.
  • this body When moving in sea, this body will generally always move through the water without being lifted out of the water even during very strong pitching motion of the vessel. This has the effect that waves will not be able to pound against the bottom of the hull as in previous hull designs and, at the same time, the buoyancy of the body will counteract digging of the bow into the sea.
  • the motion of the vessel can be adjusted to the optimum by the arrangement of means in the body dividing it into trimming tanks and/or fuel tanks.
  • connection between the bulb or the torpedolike body and the bottom of the hull extends only over a part of the length of the hull body. Thereby the turning diameter of the vessel will not be increased by much and the vessel will have good maneouvrability.
  • the water resistance will be small since the body is torpedoshaped.
  • connection with the bottom of the hull is relatively narrow in section, so that the torpedo or drop shape of the surface of the body is interrupted only to an unessential extent.
  • Hydrophones and other equipment can be arranged inside the body if desirable. These will thereby have a much more advantageous position than previously in that they will be placed at a substantially greater depth.
  • the body By arranging the body in such a way that it comprises trimming tanks, not only will the possibility be gained for adjusting the trim for advantageous motion in sea but also for obtaining maximum speed.
  • the downwardly projecting body will also act as a wave dampener in sea pounding against the vessel from any direction, particularly when the hull of the vessel is lifted partly out of the water at high speed.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically a vessel shaped in accordance with the invention as seen from the side
  • FIG. 2 shows the same vessel seen somewhat from behind in perspective view.
  • the torpedolike body is given the reference designation A and it protrudes downwards from the bottom near the bow section of the vessel.
  • the middle and aft section B of the vessel is shaped like a catamaran hull and, together with the protruding body A of the bow section C, a modified trimaran construction is obtained.
  • any other shape of the bottom can be used with the arrangement according to the invention. Similarily, the invention covers any modification of the shape of the bow or torpedo-shaped body as long as this lies within the definition of being lengthwise extending, elongated and streamlined. It is furthermore possible to arrange more than one such body under the bottom of the vessel, for example, side by side and/or one after the other. Moreover, the body A can be divided into sections for use as trimming tanks and/or fuel tanks as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1.
  • a ships hull having a bow, stern, bottom and lateral sides and including two depending side portions which are spaced in opposition to one another and have free lower edges, said side portions defining at said bottom, a central longitudinal channel extending from the stern towards the bow, and a central portion disposed in said channel at the front thereof and including a downwardly projecting portion extending at a level beneath the free lower edges of said side portions and of substantially shorter length than the overall length of the hull, said downwardly projecting portion being disposed substantially in entirety below said free lower edges of the side portions and constituted as a horizontally extended torpedo-like body.
  • a ships hull as claimed in claim 1 comprising means dividing said torpedo-like body into a plurality of tank sections.
