9.88 A supertanker displacement is approximately 600,000 tons. The ship has length L=1000ft, beam (width) b= 270ft. and draft (depth) D=80ft. The ship steams at 15 knots through seawater at 40∘F. 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.
