ABSTRACT

MOST ships, whether they are monohulls, multihulls, displacement hulls, planing hulls or semi displacement hulls,
have a bow(s), stern(s), starboard, portside, external deck(s), superstructure(s), keel(s) and are oriented along their horizontal central longitudinal axis between their bow and their stern. They are sensitive in how they orient themselves to
waves that may occur in Beaufort Scale numbers 0-12 and
this sensitivity increases dangerously as Beaufort Scale
numbers increase and wave size increases. A spinning
stabilized ship and is dissimilar to most ships due
to its rotationally symmetrical wetted surface around its
vertical axis, active spinning ship stabilization
and passive ship's shape stabilization. Due to these unique
active and passive stabilization features, a spinning stabilized ship has extraordinary stability. 

BACKGROUND

MOST ships have motions such as yaw, pitch, roll,
heave, sway and surge caused by waves throughout the
Beaufort Scale numbers 0-12. As Beaufort Scale numbers
increase in magnitude, these motions also increase in magnitude and can cause catastrophic capsizing, sinking, hull
fracture, hull separation, broaching, pitchpoling, swamping,
etc. MOST ships, whether they are monohulls, multihulls,
displacement hulls, planing hulls or semi displacement
hulls, have a bow(s), stern(s), starboard, portside, external
deck(s), superstructure(s), keel(s) and are oriented along
their horizontal central longitudinal axis between their bow
and their stern. They are sensitive in how they orient
themselves to waves that may occur in Beaufort Scale
numbers 0-12 and this sensitivity increases dangerously as
Beaufort Scale numbers increase and wave size increases.
A spinning stabilized ship and is dissimilar
to most ships due to its rotationally symmetrical wetted
surface around its vertical axis, active spinning
ship stabilization and passive ship's shape stabilization. Due to these unique active and passive stabilization features, spinning stabilized ship has extraordinary stability. 

SUMMARY

Spinning stabilized ship is not oriented along a horizontal central
longitudinal axis. The wetted surface of all spinning stabilized ship variations
must be rotationally symmetrical around their vertical axis.
axis. All spinning stabilized ship variations must have spinning ship
stabilization. All spinning stabilized ship variations must be able to navigate
with their spinning ship stabilization either activated or deactivated. Many  spinning stabilized ships might vary, in their sensitivity to how they orient themselves to waves that occur in Beaufort Scale numbers 0-12, depending on their
variations of wetted surfaces and non-wetted surfaces. Many spinning stabilized ship variations could have a non-wetted surface which isn't rotationally symmetrical around its vertical axis combined with a wetted
surface which is rotationally symmetrical around the vertical
axis. Spinning stabilized ship's loaded displacement tonnage must be balanced
around its vertical axis.

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

In the following detailed, but not to scale, portion
of the present description, the teaching of the present application will be explained in more detail with reference to the
example embodiments shown in these drawings, in which
there is a view of the bottom of spinning stabilized ship.
There is also a view showing the bottom is rotationally
symmetrical.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Spinning stabilized ship's interior would generally have spaces for
propulsion, navigation, shelter wet decks for work and/or
recreation, machine shop, hatch covered or uncovered helipad, helm, fuel, passenger and crew quarters, galley, heads,
pools, hot tubs, saunas, gyms, libraries, theaters, freshwater
system, sewage treatment system, auxiliary craft launch and haul out wet deck, etc. Depending on the shape of the
unwetted surface of a spinning stabilized ship, it could have an exterior
deck(s) with spaces for some of the aforementioned features.
The wetted surface of spinning stabilized ship must be rotationally
symmetrical around its vertical axis.
The unwetted surface of spinning stabilized ship can be rotationally
symmetrical or not rotationally symmetrical around its vertical axis.
Multiple omnidirectional thrusters, a propulsion system capable of generating and directing horizontal thrust in any 360-degree direction, are on the spinning stabilized ship's bottom and are programmed to synchronously generate
horizontal thrust for spinning stabilizes ship from around its vertical
axis, which generates gyroscopic stabilization, and generate
propulsion capability with a 360 degree range of propulsive horizontal thrust.
Spinning stabilized ship also generates a 360 degree range of horizontal propulsive
thrust when it isn't spinning.
Spinning stabilized ship's wetted surface must be shaped rotationally
symmetrical around its vertical axis like a hemisphere, semi ellipse, cylindrical segment, conical frustum etc. The non-wetted surface can be any shape(s) as long
as it doesn't interfere with the spinning of spinning stabilized ship.
Spinning stabilized ship's size should be large enough to spin its entire hull mass
at a gyroscopic spin rate which is tolerable and safe for
humans onboard without generating excessive centrifugal
force inside, like what can happen if too small of a spinning stabilized ship is
built. Is spinning stabilized ship a ship or a boat? Consider "ship versus boat".
"A ship can carry a boat(s) but a boat can not carry a
ship(s)".

CLAIMS

1. Spinning stabilized ship has a rotationally symmetrical wetted surface of the entire hull below its waterline around its vertical axis.

2. Spinning stabilized ship can generate horizontal propulsive thrust around its vertical axis using omnidirectional thrusters, a propulsion system capable of generating and directing horizontal thrust in any 360-degree direction

3. Spinning stabilized ship can generate horizontal thrust for spinning itself
around its vertical axis to generate gyroscopic stabilization using omnidirectional  thrusters, a propulsion system capable of generating and directing thrust in any 360-degree direction.

4. Spinning stabilized ship can generate horizontal thrust to synchronously spin
itself and generate horizontal propulsive thrust in a 360 degree range
around its vertical axis using omnidirectional thrusters, a propulsion system capable of generating and directing horizontal thrust in any 360-degree direction
