... He also highlighted the need for international exchange of scientific information by stating, "increasing specialization of science will make it more important than ever that science in this country keep continually abreast of developments abroad." Shortly thereafter an act of Congress transformed the Office of Research and Inventions into the Office of Naval Research. The foundation of the ONR Europe (or as it was then known, ONR London)

... The initial development of computational methods, or the evaluation in the towing tank of a physical model, is viewed with much greater relish by most researchers than the seemingly mundane task of validation. Yet such a task is with merit, requiring the best and the brightest of researchers, and is crucial to the successful implementation of computational ship hydrodynamics in the design environment.
