Abstract :
A linear mathematical model of a ship moving at constant speed along a straight track is derived by perturbation technique. The model is totally specified by six dimensionless coefficients which can be obtained from tank tests. Following derivation of the model, a specific example is made of the minesweeper, an unstable open-loop system. A control loop is designed, and simulated responses are presented.
