... I am pleased to note that the symposium ends with sessions dedicated to this process, and I look forward to He next symposium, at which I expect to see numerous papers implementing complementary experimental and computational techniques. In the United States Here is a movement toward implementing computational ship hydrodynamics for preliminary design of naval ships at the shipyards.

... I should also mention the social activities that surround this symposium, which started with the excellent reception at the Navy yard yesterday evening. I also know that numerous technical committees are meeting around the symposium schedule, such as International Towing Tank Conference committees and Society of Naval Architects and Manne Engineers panels.

... Admiral David Taylor, a young naval constructor, built He U.S. Navy's first towing tank 100 years ago at the Navy yard directly across from title Navy Museum where we had the reception last evening.

... ; as a former naval person for some 11 years now, a period during which, in 1996, I had the privilege of serving as chair of a milestone independent study for the Department of the Navy Secretariat which scrutinized and assessed the technology base for our newest attack submarine design, the NSSN; and today as a current member of the Naval Studies Board. Throughout my naval career as a submarine officer, and in my assignments with the science and technology community, I have maintained a continuing strong interest in naval hydrodynamics, in He finding that was allocated to this important technical discipline, and in the expectations for technical results to be achieved and then applied from these sustained efforts.

... The hydrodynamics community has a responsibility to educate and knowledgeably articulate the ultimate benefits of their science. For example, in a military scenario, the application of Proved hydrodynamics to reduce submarine flow noise attacks the problem at its source and perhaps has the potential to radically reduce the cost of sonar signal processing.
