Excerpt from the Symposium Preface:

This Symposium is the third in a series, each of which has been concerned with various aspects of Naval Hydrodynamics. The first (held in September 1956) presented critical surveys of those areas of Hydrodynamics that are of significance in naval science. Subsequent meetings were to be devoted to one or more topics selected on the basis of importance and need for research stimulation, or of particular current interest. In keeping with this objective, the second symposium (August 1958) had for its dual theme the areas of hydrodynamic noise and cavity flow.

Still continuing with the original plan, the present symposium selected for its theme the area of high-performance ships, thus emphasizing among other things the interest in the current problems and latest accomplishments associated with hydrofoil craft and ground effect machines.
