4.3.6 Necessary Modifications and Baseline Equilibrium Polygon<br />

All of the loading conditions need to be inside of the polygon. The CGs of all of the components can be moved<br />

to accomplish this task. The compensating fuel tank and the clean fuel tank must be moved so that their CGs are the<br />

same. This needs to be done so that when all of the fuel was used, there would be no extra moment created by<br />

having salt water in the compensating diesel tank and an empty clean fuel tank. The amount and position of the lead<br />

can also be altered to move all of the loading conditions inside of the equilibrium polygon. The position and size of<br />

all external and internal tanks can also be changed.<br />

4.3.7 Normal Surface Condition<br />

Table 41 summarizes the normal surface condition. The normal surface calculations are computed using the<br />

displacing volume of the submarine. This displacing volume includes the pressure hull, ballast tanks, hydrogen<br />

tanks, sonar dome, propulsion system, torpedo tubes, and any other miscellaneous outboard volume. The envelope<br />

hull is not included in the displacement calculations. Due to the complex shapes of the displacing volumes, the<br />

Rhino Marine plug-in is used to calculate the transverse and longitudinal stabilities. Rhino Marine is also used to<br />

plot the curves of form for <strong>SSG</strong>(X). The reserve buoyancy calculations are determined by how much buoyancy is<br />

not in use by the MBTs (Main Ballast Tanks) when <strong>SSG</strong>(X) is on the surface. The reserve buoyancy for the <strong>SSG</strong>(X)<br />

is 3.6%, with a draft of 26 ft and a length on the waterline (LWL) of 233 ft. The submarine exhibits transverse<br />

stability with a metacenter 3.3 ft above the center of gravity and longitudinal stability with a metacenter 103 ft above<br />

the center of gravity. Figure 47 shows the curves of form.<br />
