Slender Ship Resistance (SSR) is an implementation of the "zero-order" slender ship approximation of ship waves and resistance. Results are similar to those derived from tank testing models without the scale effects of viscosity and surface tension. Even for hulls that are insufficiently slender to yield accurate quantitative results, qualitative trends allow for optimizing of hull forms.
