5.6 Test report

 The test report should include the following information as a minimum:

  • .1 general arrangement drawing of the craft, showing the spaces that might be flooded as a result of failure of the bow loading door;

  • .2 general arrangement drawing of the model, showing the scale ratio and details of the construction and instrumentation;

  • .3 calculations to show the derivation of the maximum operational and minimum operational weights and corresponding limiting KG positions;

  • .4 tests conducted to verify the mass, centre-of-gravity position and radii of gyration;

  • .5 where appropriate, calculations to show that the elements necessary to achieve the non-displacement mode have been appropriately scaled;

  • .6 the nominal and measured wave spectra (at the fixed wave probe location); and

  • .7 records for each test case:

    • .7.1 wave elevation at model position;

    • .7.2 relative wave height at the opening; and

    • .7.3 internal water volume measurements.
