Claim 1:
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one electronic processor is further configured to:
provide a time-dependent approach for positioning one or more follower vessels in one or more wave-making reduction resistance zones associated with the Kelvin wake waves generated by one or more lead vessels for reducing the wave making resistance of the follower vessels, wherein the time-dependent approach is based at least in part upon a calculation of data associated with the state of the Kelvin wake waves of the one or more lead vessels at a time after the Kelvin wake waves are generated, so as to position the follower vessels in the wave-making reduction resistance zones at that later time, such as to account for variations in the state of the lead vessels when operating in a seaway.
