The purpose of this work was to cover adequately the field of naval architecture in one text. The discussion is illustrated by practical problems and tables of date. Throughout the work emphasis has been placed on the merchant ship. Volume I deals largely with the statics of naval architecture. Volume II deals with the dynamics of naval architecture. standard symbols are used throughout the text and these closely follow American practice. The abbreviations are those approved by the American Standards Association. Among the chapter topics are: Geometry of the Ship, Freeboard, Tonnage and Capacity, Traverse Stability, Longitudinal Stability and Trim, Subdivision of Ships, Strength of Ships, Launching, Motion of Ships, Resistance and Powering, Propulsion and Propellers, and Steering. Naval architecture, or naval engineering, along with automotive engineering and aerospace engineering, is an engineering discipline branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software and safety engineering as applied to the engineering design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures.[1][2] Naval architecture involves basic and applied research, design, development, design evaluation (classification) and calculations during all stages of the life of a marine vehicle. Preliminary design of the vessel, its detailed design, construction, trials, operation and maintenance, launching and dry-docking are the main activities involved. Ship design calculations are also required for ships being modified (by means of conversion, rebuilding, modernization, or repair). Naval architecture also involves formulation of safety regulations and damage-control rules and the approval and certification of ship designs to meet statutory and non-statutory requirements.
