... This is for example the case when the rudder is released in the attempt to recover from an excessive heeling in manoeuvering, non properly adjusted antirolling tanks are employed to reduce excessive rolling, a route change is adopted to avoid the beam or quartering action of wave trains; - structural failure with consequent opening of holes in the hull and flooding of some compartment; - effect of additional heeling moments due to water loading on deck and through the deck openings caused by the large amplitude rolling or

... To this end, the probability density function of the response levels should be computed by means of approximate analytical methods in the following three cases of interest: - bifurcation between the anti- and the resonant oscillation in the main resonance region in stochastic beam sea; - bifurcation between non resonant and subharmonic in the first subharmonic region in stochastic beam sea; - bifurcation between zero amplitude (or negligible one) and parametric suharmonic rolling in stochastic following or quartering sea.

... This procedure applied to normalized standard wave height spectra Sly using IMSL library routine RNLIN, provided the following values [1 13: - ITTC So=.35 cof-1.16 ~=.50 is= 0 143 - JONSWAP with sharpness magnification factor equal to 7 (maximum value) So=.13 c~=1.01 y=.14 The transformation of wave heights into inclining moments actually broadens a little the spectrum.

... In particular, in the considered cases, the most sharp JONSWAP is not far from the higher limit of values of That gives multiple regime of oscillations. In the sinusoidal case, in the frequency region where three states are possible, only the two extreme represent stable oscillations and the bifurcation involves them.

... AllTHORS' REPLY Actually, the frequency dependence of the hydrodynamic coefficients is not included in the model. This is not due only to the obvious overcomplications involved, but to the necessity of a better clarification of the exact meaning of frequency in presence of a stochastic excitation with the possibility of multiple regime of oscillation and of the techniques for transfering this frequency der~endence when doing time domain simulation with nonlinear - -r v models.
