US NAVY YARD PATROL BOAT

Propeller Drawing and Propeller Charts

 Exercise 1
1. From the hydrostatic curves determine the values of the coefficients (1)
to (8) at a draft of 6 ft:
2. Using the offsets table and the lines diagrams calculate the coefficients
(1) to (8) at 6 ft draft. You may use manual calculations or excel for the
calculations.
3. From the EHP curves, determine the brake horsepower requirements of
the vessel if its design speed is 10 knots. List any efficiency assumptions
you make regarding efficiencies.
4. Using data for the 12V-71N Detroit Diesel, and finding an appropriate
reduction gear that can fit this engine (do an internet search), design a
propeller using the B4-40 Chart – calculate D, P, efficiency. Check if the
calculated propeller fits in the stern area.
 Exercise 2
Perform the following study for the conversion of the US Navy Yard Patrol Boat:

Vessel lengthening and conversion of the vessel to yacht/research vessel/ change the
general arrangement and add amenities as you see fit (HVAC, game room/theater, gym,
lounge, etc). Recheck hydrostatics, position of the CG after reconfiguration and
resulting heel and trim. Do powering (engine, propeller) calculations, starting with the
EHP curve for the original vessel. Find an engine and reduction gears (from the
internet) appropriate for the lengthened vessel, and using the reduced shaft speed
design the propeller. Check stability using GM and stability curve, check vs US Coast
Guard Stability Criteria.

Group 1: Contreras, Tan, Pamintuan

Lengthen the vessel by 3 meters

Group 2: Lada, Go, Sison

Lengthen the vessel by 4 meters

Group 3: Capapas, De Leon, Esquivel, Sy

Lengthen the vessel by 5 meters
 Admiralty Coefficient

Similar vessels having the same Froude Number or speed

to length ratios have the same Admiralty Coefficient

The Admiralty Coefficient can be used to estimate the

powering requirements of similar vessels, if the
resistance or powering characteristics of one vessel is
known

For vessel lengthening in the exercises, the original vessel and

lengthened vessel can be considered as similar vessels. The
Admiralty Coefficient can be used at several speeds, and
power can be estimated for the lengthened vessel.
