Figure 6-2. Aircraft Carrier Camel
The following pertinent information is provided for the CVN camels:
Construction steel floating frame pontoon
Loads - 1500 kip (6672.3 kN) lateral and 500 kip (2224.1 kN)
longitudinal reaction force transmitted to the camel fender system
along the length of the camel. Values were based on maximum
wind and current forces associated with heavy weather conditions
(95 mph [42.5 m/s] wind and 1 knot [0.51 m/s] current) and
breasting reaction associated with CVN berthing assuming a
maximum approach velocity of 0.5 ft/sec (0.15 m/sec.)
