A supertanker displacement is approximately 600,000 metric tons. This ship has length L = 300 m, beam (width) b = 80 m, and draft (depth) D = 25 m. The ship steams at 14 knots through seawater at 4°C. For these conditions, estimate (a) the thickness of the boundary layer at the stern of the ship, (b) the total skin friction drag acting on the ship, and (c) the power required to overcome the drag force.
