In the marine design world, innovation can come from looking into the past, this can be seen in the resurgence of wind powered cargo liners to reduce fuel cost. Another historical innovation for humanitarian and military purposes is intentional ship grounding events, which will be referred to as beaching events. Beaching events, especially with larger, displacement style hulls are returning to the forefront as a methodology to deliver supplies and individuals to their desired locations. Older beaching ships like LSTs were designed using pen and paper. A modern, digital approach to assessing the ability of a ship to conduct beaching operations in the concept design space was previously proposed in the paper, Grounded Ambitions: A Lean Approach for Assessing Beachability in Concept Design. The focus of this paper is to present preliminary beachability assessments from this method as a means for verification and validation (V&V) of this new tool, the Rapid Assessment Beachability Tool (RABeT). Given limited availability of quality beaching data for validation, V&V efforts for this paper rely primarily on first principles assessments as a replacement. The sensitivity studies presented in this paper will vary constitutive properties, ship characteristics, and computational parameters. In addition to first principles analyses of these studies, the results will be compared to the predecessor tool, a quasi-static, excel-based design tool built on the assumptions in Collision and Grounding Mechanics by Preben Pedersen. While this method has never been validated, it exists as the standard in ship beachability analysis and adds an additional data point in a data-sparse field. In addition to providing value for V&V this paper can also provide potential insight into future beachable ship designs.
