What prevents high-speed navigation of a large-scale high speed ship in waves is ship oscillation. The concept of the invention has been derived from an idea to control a ship oscillationless longitudinally with small-size fins by providing the ship with struts being formed to have a value of longitudinal metacentric height such that the value of statical restoring moment due to the longitudinal metacentric height ("self-stability moment") does not exceed the value of Munk's instability moment ("Munk moment"). Therefore, a residual Munk moment of negative value as the sum of "Self-stability moment" having a positive value and "Munk moment" having a negative value, is reserved. The ship is characterized by using the controlling effects of the control fin besides designing the strut by taking into account the self-stability moment and the Munk moment. The invention can cause a ship to navigate stably at high speed in waves while easily controlling the longitudinal oscillation by small fins due to the reserving of the residual "Munk moment".

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A semisubmerged twin hull ship comprising:at least two parallel lower hulls being submerged under the water surface in a cruising status of the ship;strut means fixed to the lower hulls and extending through the water surface upward therefrom;an upper hull being above the water surface and fixedly supported on an upper end of said strut means;rudder means, at least longitudinal heel controlling fin means, water ballasting means and propulsion means;said strut means being formed to have a value of longitudinal metacentric height (GML) such that the value of longitudinal self-stability moment expressed by .DELTA..multidot.GML.multidot..theta. does not exceed a value of Munk's instability moment expressed by .rho..multidot..gradient..multidot.v.sup.2 .multidot..theta., where, .DELTA. is the displacement of the ship, GML is the longitudinal metacentric height, .theta. is a longitudinal heel angle, .rho. is a density of fluid on which the ship cruises and v is a ship speed, said self-stability moment being a positive restoring moment generated from the value of GML due to shapes of water plane areas of the strut means, and working to restore the ship to an upright position when the ship heels longitudinally, said Munk's instability moment being a negative restoring moment generated from a shape of ship hull including the lower hulls and the strut means submerged under water surface and working to heel the ship in a tilting direction thereof when the ship heels longitudinally during cruising at a ship speed.
