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.
