My ship power curve calculation computer program

I just did some testing, and found that I have a bug in the residual resistance calculation code. The frictional resistance EHP looks to be correct. I just tested with my "super-fast" light battlecruiser design. At 40 knots, the Reynolds number is 4.2169e+009. The Schoenherr table value read is 1.291, which must be multiplied times 10^-3. The frictional EHP is 78,264.6. I will fix the residual resistance table reading code and retest tomorrow.
