Phillips, USN; L. Sanford, former president of the Shipbuilders Rear Adm. E. J. Fahy, speaker; N. Friedland, Ocean Systems Operations; Rear Adm. A. & Son, Inc.; second row: Capt. H. P. Rumble, USN (ret.); Adm. J. M. Farrin, USN (ret.); Council of America, and J. Enroth. Spring Meeting? ( Continued from page 6) and automatic steering control re-sponse. A potentially dangerous situation which can arise on any high-speed containership is reveal-ed and the possibilities of correc-tive action are discussed. Paper No. 7. "Vertical Ship Mo-tions and Deckwetness" by M. F. van Sluijs, Netherlands Ship Model Basin, The Netherlands. Presiding ?Capt. Duane J. Gerry, USN. As-sisting?Comdr. Robert A. Rourke, USN (ret.). Discussers?Dr. Odo Krappinger, Prof. Dr. J. Fukuda, Prof. G. Aertssen, Prof. V. Ferdi-nande, Prof. Edward V. Lewis, L. Vassilopoulos, Prof. Dan Hoffman, Reuven Leopold, R. Wahab and Dr. K. M. Ochi. SYNOPSIS?The author, in or-der to formulate a criterion for deck wetness and thereby deck heights for equal wetness at vari-ous locations, describes the tests made to find the distribution of the relative motion of the wave surface along the ship's length versus the ship's own wave system in still water. Good correlation is shown between model test results and the data furnished by ships at sea. Paper No. 8. "A New Hull Form for High-Speed Volume Limited Displacement-Type Ships" by Reu-ven Leopold, Litton Systems, Inc. Presiding?C. Richard Schaeffner. Assisting?John E. M. Enroth. Discussers?Prof. Harry Benford, John T. Drewry, Dr. S. D. Sharma, Dr. Paul Kaplan, Theodore M. Pitidis, John Vasta and G. Rose-killy. SYNOPSIS?As a result of ex-amination of basic hydrodynamic principles a new hull form has evolved for high-speed volume-limited ships. This form results in a vessel of highly efficient lift/drag ratio for a specific speed and cargo density regime. The paper describes the philosophy governing the selec-tion of the gross characteristics of such a vessel and demonstrates through model testing the hydro-dynamic performance of the new hull form as related to its resis-tance and seakeeping qualities. Paper No. 9. "Marine Reheat Cy-cles and Systems Evaluation" by Chester W. Stott Jr., General Elec-tric. Presiding?Carl M. Lippin-cott. Assisting?S. J. Cina. Discus-sers?L. F. van Sciver, Charles W. Wilson, W. G. Bullock, W. I. H. Budd, John B. Letherbury and Ro-bert Giblon. SYNOPSIS?This paper is a powerful tool and time saver to the ship owner, operator, marine engi-neer, naval architect and student. It gives up-to-date thermodynamic evaluation and allows fast, con-sistent and comparable answers for determining trade-off studies in ar-riving at the most reliable and eco-nomical powerplant system for 30,-000 to 200,000 slip high utilization, fast and slow, quick turn-around vessels. Paper No. 10. "Design and Con-struction of the Dynamically Posi-tioned Glomar Challenger" by John R. Graham, Klemme M. Jones, G. Dayton Knorr and Thomas F. Dixon, Global Marine, Inc. Presiding?John E. Marriner. Assisting?Capt. Henry P. Rum-ble, USN (ret.). Discussers?Peter G. Trapani and Bion E. Henderson. SYNOPSIS?A presentation of the complete general description of a unique and sophisticated new ship design. Detailed discussions of her mission, special features such as powering, positioning sys-tem and controls are included along with arrangement plans and explanatory illustrations. Some in-formal comments on in-service ex-perience are included in the pre-sentation. Luncheon Speakers A buffet luncheon was held on Wednesday, May 21. at which Rear Adm. J. J. Fee, USN (ret.), project manager for the City of Long Beach, discussed the conversion of the Queen Mary into a maritime museum and a convention center. The bottom half of the ship will be reserved for the museum. A 40-year agreement has been concluded with the California Museum Foun-dation for installation of the mu-seum on the Queen Mary with an initially planned $2.5-milIion worth of equipment from industry. The top half of the ship will be con-verted to commercial purposes and will be operated by the Diners Club. It will contain hotel accom-modations of approximately 400 rooms for almost 800 people, con-vention and meeting rooms, and many special shops and restau-rants. Three and a half million tourists are expected to visit the Queen Mary the first year. Ad-miral Fee explained that all power for the Queen Mary will be shore-based, and that all of the boilers aboard ship had been shut down for the first time in the ship's his-tory only after the Queen Mary had been docked at Long Beach. It has also been decided that the Queen Mary will remain afloat and will not be docked. A banquet-style luncheon was held Thursday, May 22, at which Rear Adm. Edward J. Fahy, com-mander, Naval Ship Systems Com-mand, was the principal speaker. He was introduced by John H. (Continued on page 10) Paper No. 3, "Weight Considerations for Deep Submers-ibles," was presented by: (left to right) Hugh C. Downer, Marcona Corp.; Eugene H. Nickell, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, author, and John R. Graham, Glo-bal Marine Exploration. Presenting paper No. 1 on "The Society of Naval Archi-tects and Marine Engineers and the Conquest of Inner-space" were, left to right: Hollinshead de Luce; E. M. MacCutcheon, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, author, and H. P. Rumble, Rand Corp. Presiding on paper No. 2, "A View of the Present and Future Hydrofoil Industry," was John V.
