Summary:

Four models with longitudinal steps on the forebody were developed by modifications of a model of a conventional hull and were tested in the N.A.C.A. tank. The same afterbody, of the usual V-section, was used with all the forebodies and the dept of the transverse step at the keel was the same in all cases. Two models had tow longitudinal steps on each side, one with constant dead rise and depth of steps, the other with varying dead rise between steps and different depths of steps. The other two models each had one longitudinal step and were derived from the second of the two-step models by eliminating first the inboard and then the outboard step alternatively.
