Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A study of ship stability. It emphasizes the basic principles of ship stability, together with the provision of worked examples and exercise questions with answers. Syllabuses and examination papers are included too. This fifth edition features a new chapter on Ship Squat and Interaction.
Includes index.
