| Tandem Hulls |
|
|
| Wave pattern of two identical DDG51 destroyers each of length 142m, travelling in tandem at a speed of 30 knots. The hull centres are separated by 1.5 transverse wavelengths, (approx. 229m). Note the very small transverse waves. | |

|
| As above, but the separation length between hull centres is two transverse wavelengths (approx. 306m). Transverse waves are reinforcing. |
