New England Section Discusses Calculation Of Metacentric Height The New England Section of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers held its January meeting at A. D. Little, Inc., Cam-bridge, Mass. This was the second meeting of the current year. The technical paper, presented by Charles L. Wright, formerly the chief design engineer of the Boston Naval Shipyard, entitled "The Sig-nificance of Metacentric Height", elicited considerable discussion from those attending the meeting. Guests in attendance were Lester Rosenblatt, chairman of the Society membership committee and Comdr. Richard Gardner, USN, design su-perintendent of the Boston Naval Shipyard, and chairman of the New England Section of the Society of Naval Engineers. In his technical paper, Mr. Wright reviewed in detail the significance of metacentric height as a function of the configuration or hull form of a ship and the distribution of its weight. Because it can be determin-ed relatively easily and quickly, either by empirical relations or by direct calculation, it is often relied upon as a principal indication of the stability of the ship and its abil-ity to survive extensive flooding Charles L. Wright presenting his paper on the significance of metacentric heights to the New England Section of SNAME. due to underwater damage. The ac-curacy to which it is meaningful was evaluated by the author. Some modifications to present procedures for weight and moment control, which would simplify these pro-cedures without significantly reduc-ing the effectiveness of this control, are recommended in the paper. A simplification to present procedures for determining the location of the center of gravity by inclining ex-periment is also proposed.
