Abstract
    The US Navy‟s Office of Naval Research (ONR) has been funding development of a new type of ship that transforms from a surface effect ship (SES) to an air cushion vehicle, referred to as the T-Craft. One of the projected uses of the TCraft is to be one of the ship-to-shore connectors of an offshore seabase. The T-Craft program has sponsored two model tests of potential seabase configurations and a comparison study of multiple vessel SES motion prediction simulation codes to the model test results. The model tests were conducted to determine the relative motion between the two ships composing the seabase and to compare the wave induced forces on the connections of the ramps in a variety of seaways and headings. The SES code evaluation used the results from the model tests in regular and irregular waves to correlate with the code output by performing a qualitative graphic assessment and a quantitative percent difference analysis. This paper shows some of the results of both the model tests and evaluation of three of the multiple vessel SES seakeeping prediction codes using regular wave model test results.
