NOTE: The above is distorted because the frame spacing (probably 60’ is
not at the same scale as the half-breadths. (Plot to scale below.)
Other Hull Form Dimensions
 Besides areas & volumes, hull form determines the
location of other critical dimensions.
 The centroid (geometric center) of the underwater
portion of the hull is the Center of Buoyancy
B
LCB
KB
 The vertical location of B is measured from the keel (KB).
 The Longitudinal Center of Buoyancy (LCB) is measured
from the Forward Perpendicular
 The location of B changes with draft (displacement).
Other Hull Form Dimensions
 Besides areas & volumes,
hull form determines the
location of other critical
dimensions.
 The centroid of the
waterplane area is the
Center of Floatation (F)
 Its location (distance from
the fwd perpendicular –
LCF) is also a function of
displacement

F
Other Hull Form Dimensions
 Besides areas & volumes, hull
form determines the location of
other critical dimensions.
 The distribution of waterplane
area determines the
Metacentric Radius (BM)
 The Center of Buoyancy moves
along this arc as the ship rolls
 With KB known, the
Metacentric Height (KM)
becomes an important
parameter in stability
calculations.

Coefficients of Form
 Midship Section Coefficient: CM = AF / (B x T)

 Note that CM = CB / CP
 COF’s are used in the
early stages of design
to compare
characteristics of new
design with existing
types for estimating
performance
