Talk:Ship motions

This is an "exxellente" article. Short.. accurate.... Spot on.

I like it. --Håvard 19:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)haavame[reply]

Seakeeping

This is not the right place for this information. I would suggest that it be re-located into the Seakeeping article which contains only the merest seed of what is required to deal with this subject properly.Jmvolc (talk) 15:48, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Roll Motion

I'd love to see discussion on guidelines for roll period and crew comfort (long/slow vs short/stiff).--Billymac00 (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know that long ships have a more rapid pitch duration. Thin ships roll more frequently. It is in a book called seamanship in the age of sail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.78.70.2 (talk) 14:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft?

This aeroplane related stuff seems to have slipped into an article about ships

The longitudinal axis passes through the plane from nose to tail. Rotation about this axis is called bank or roll. Bank changes the orientation of the aircraft's wings with respect to the downward force of gravity. The pilot changes bank angle by increasing the lift on one wing and decreasing it on the other.

The airplane discussion also makes it unclear to me whether z-axis down is in fact standard use for ships. The airplane sections are also poorly integrated into the flow of the article, making me wonder if they were copy-pasted from some other source. -- Jimmy 98.111.153.216 (talk) 15:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additions!

Just added a series of nautical terms ex. Bow-stern & Port-Starboard for technical seafearing information. Also added Spherical Axis Letters for technicalities due to Modern ship design. Please help by review, Critique, improve and discuss before removing/reveting. Iamiyouareyou (talk) 14:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC) Iamiyouareyou (talk) 14:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
