Longitudinal Center of
Flotation (LCF):
Drag:
A design feature where the
draft aft is greater than the
draft forward.
Primarily done to increase
propulsion plant effectiveness.
Trim:
or shifted.
The moment necessary to produce
Moment to Trim One Inch (MT1"): a change in trim (CT) of one
inch. Found using the Draft
Diagram and Functions of Form.
NOTE: Since the weight was shifted forward, the draft change
at the bow is positive, and at the stern is negative.
Example Problem
During VERTREP, all JP-5 in tanks 5-328-0-J and 5-344-0-J is
transferred. The Liquid Loading Report shows 57 LT in these
tanks prior to transfer. The center of gravity of the
combined tanks is 146 FT aft of MP. The CHENG wants to know
the new drafts and new trim of the ship. Design Drag is 16"
by stern.
LBP = 408FT MT1" = 775 FT-Ton/inch TPI = 32.4 LT/inch
DraftFWD = 146" DraftAFT = 150" LCF = 24FT aft of MP

PLUNGING
Definition: When the Trimming Moment exceeds the
Longitudinal Righting Moment, and the ship sinks by the bow
or the stern.
Loss of ships by plunging occurs more often in the merchant
or auxiliary type ship than in the combatant type, although
some destroyers have been lost in this manner. Merchant
ships have much larger compartments, and the flooding of
these compartments at the bow or stern trims the ship
heavily.
Example Problem:

Original Drafts: Fwd: 15'0" Aft: 15'3" LBP = 408 FT
1. 200 LT is added 20 FT forward of MP
2. 20 LT is removed 80 FT forward of MP
3. 50 LT is removed 30 FT aft of MP
4. 40 LT is shifted forward 20 FT
