Editing David Taylor Model Basin (section)

==Technical capabilities==
Three adjoining sections comprise the Shallow Water Basin: deep water, shallow water, and a {{mono|J}}-shaped [[turning basin]] used for steering maneuvers.  Its carriage can provide speeds up to 18 [[knot (unit)|knots]].

The Deep Water Basin wavemaker located along the side, and a [[wave]] absorbing beach at the other. The wavemaker consists of 216 electro-mechanical panels called wave boards.<ref>{{Cite web|title=New MASK Unveiled - Magazines|url=https://magazines.marinelink.com/Magazines/MarineTechnology/201403/content/new-mask-unveiled-465342|access-date=27 December 2021|website=magazines.marinelink.com}}</ref> This capability allows modeling of regular or irregular sea states. Located behind a movable section of the beach is a fitting out [[dry dock]]. Its carriage can provide speeds up to 20 knots.

The High-Speed Basin comprises two adjoining sections: a deep water section and a shallow water section. Wavemaking capability exists in this basin, and there are three large underwater viewing windows at different elevations which are set into the wall about mid-length. The high-speed carriages can provide complex motions for the model at speeds up to 50 knots.
