4. Bells Backing –1/3 25 RPM –2/3 50 RPM –FULL 100 RPM Ahead –1/3025 RPM –2/3 050 RPM –STD 075 RPM –FULL 100 RPM –FLK I 125 RPM –FLK II150 RPM –FLK III>150 RPM

5. Bells GT - Controlled by pitch and speed of the propellar Diesel - controlled by speed Steam - controlled by the speed + 12 kts

6. Controllable Forces Propellers - –single - turn clockwise –double- STBD - clockwise PORT - counter clockwise Side Force - due to the rotation of the screw –none on a twin screw –will force in the direction of rotation. It is as if the screw is walking on the bottom

7. Controllable Forces Rudder - Usually behind the prop to maximize the thrust

8. Uncontrollable Forces Bernoulli’s –UNREP suction Bow and stern cushions Shallow Water Effects –Pounding –Loss of rudder effectiveness –Sink due to bernoulli’s –Squat

9. Uncontrollable Forces Wind - bigger problem on a carrier Current Helmsman

10. Definitions Pivot Point - The point on the centerline about which the ship turns –forward small - last frame of the bridge big - forward of the bridge –Astern stern of the ship

11. Definitions Turning circle - line scribed by the pivot point in 360 degree turn –Rudder –Speed - real slow and fast increase the diameter Advance - the distance gained toward the original course Transfer - the distance gained in the direction of the turn

12. Definitions Tactical Diameter - the amount of transfer made in 180 turn –Standard - std rudder and bell –Reduced - any speed and full rudder Kick - swinging of the stern Surge - the amount of forward motion while slowing to a slower speed.
