Classification: UNCLASSIFIED

Terminal Objective(s):

MS4-1.0 Discuss the forces and principles involved in basic shiphandling. (CTTLs 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

Enabling Objective(s):

MS4-1.1 Explain the necessity to maintain control of the ship’s movement and not yielding to faith.

MS4-1.2 Describe the effects of momentum and inertia.

MS4-1.3 Discuss “controllable” shiphandling forces such as pivot point, propulsion, rudders, lines, and bow thrusters and APUs.

MS4-1.4 Discuss “uncontrollable” forces such as wind and current.

MS4-1.5 Discuss “semi-controllable” forces such as shallow water effects and passing ship effects.

MS4-1.6 Describe the pressure/suction effect on ship’s maneuverability during alongside operations and operating in shallow water.

MS4-1.7 Show the movie provided by MSI to demonstrate these effects.
