United States Naval Academy. Annapolis, MD 21402 USA. ABSTRACT. This paper summarizes physical model tests conducted on a large semi-submersible model, representing a 1-to-70 scale model of one module of the U.S. Navy’s proposed Mobile Offshore Base (MOB), to evaluate the degree of wave amplification that can occur under semi-submersible hull. ................
