General information
Aircraft carriers which range from 10.000 to 100.000 ton displacement will have to perform their specific missions normally in an open ocean environment and should be fully operational up to rather high sea states, with a stable flight deck. They have two distinct operational speeds (cruise speed of abt 18-20 knots and a maximum speed of abt 30 knots). The flight deck is dominating design parameter and underneath they have a slender hull form. The underwater noise signature governs the design of the propulsors, which normal consists of 2 to 4 propellers.

Services & Activities
MARIN is involved in the development of the hull form optimisation, the speed/power performance and studies cavitation and noise & vibration.
The seakeeping performance is investigated by the seakee;ing experts of our team and especially focused on the motions of the flight deck.
The stringent demands on manoeuvring and the controllability focus i.e. the steering ability and ship & platform motions for various degrees of freedom.
The Nautical Centre MSCN offers training of the crew and the simulation of special situations.
The Trials & Monitoring Department is involved in in-service performance monitoring, cavitation observation, noise & vibration measurements and measures loads & responses.
