Synopsis
Volume 1 of "Basic Ship Theory" presented fundamental work on ship shape, static behaviour, hazards, protection and ship strength. It described in detail the environment on which marine vehicles have to work and the properties of the sea and air. This volume discusses the dynamic behaviour of ships and other vechicles in the complex environment in which they operate. It examines how these surroundings can be controlled to the maximum comfort of vehicle and crew and looks at the creative activity of ship design. Familiarity with the first volume has beeen assumed throughout, but certain conversion factors, preferred values and symbols, and nomenclature are repeated.

Review
"This book discusses ship geometry and measurement in its more basic concepts, also covering safety issues, structural strength, flotation, trim and staiblity. Topics include: symbols and nomenclature; tools; flotation and trim; stability; hazards; ship girder; more." --Offshore Engineer, October 2004
"This is one of the leading textbooks for naval architect students, and it remains a fine reference book....The subject matter is presented clearly with a great deal of information contained in the two volumes... Basic Ship Theory remains a primary textbook, designed to provide the student with an understanding of the fundamental principles of shiop design. A particular strength is the large number (more than 500) of worked examples, with answers included in the text." --The Naval Architect, Feb. 2002
"Will be of great assistance to practising marine engineers and naval architects." --Maritime Journal, December 2001
Reviews of previous editions: "This is a very good book and will be a welcome addition to the library of the naval architect." --Shipping World and Shipbuilder, December 1968
"This is a professional book - cheerful but no nonsense." --Scientific American, September 1969
