Structural response of the SLICE advanced technology demonstrator

The objective of this research was to provide the Office of Naval Research (ONR) with an independent evaluation of the structural adequacy of Lockheed's SLICE hull design. SLICE is an offshoot of the SWATH ship technology, with four lower hulls instead of the SWATH's twin hulls. An advance...
