A 4-day trial from April 18-21, 2006 was conducted which began in Port Angeles, WA and ended in San Diego, CA. This data includes measurement of the ambient environmental conditions (wind and waves) in which the ship was operating, including the incident waves impacting the vessel, ship motions (including accelerations and angular rates), and visual documentation of the wave field surrounding the ship. This data will be used in the development and validation of computational tools used for design and evaluation of high-speed ships.
