4.3.5 Initial Equilibrium Polygon<br />
The equilibrium polygon is a graphical representation of the possible ballast and moments that can be achieved<br />
with variable ballast compensation. The polygon is created in a plot of the weight vs. the moment. The boundary of<br />
the polygon are composed of the weights and moments created by the variable ballast tanks. This polygon is used in<br />
tandem with certain extreme loading conditions. If the loading conditions lie within the boundaries of the polygon,<br />
then the submarine will be able to maintain neutral buoyancy and level trim under all operational conditions.<br />
To create the boundary of the polygon, the volumetric center of each ballast tank is identified using the<br />
arrangements drawings. The variable ballast tanks are filled starting with the forward trim tank and ending with the<br />
aft trim tank, and then the tanks are emptied in the same order. The weights and moments created after filling or<br />
emptying each ballast tank are what compose the polygon boundaries.<br />
