This textbook establishes the foundational engineering principles that govern warship design and describes the strategic thinking that informs the conceptualization of new warship classes. It explains the distinctive features of the warship acquisition process and develops the reader’s understanding of the warship as an integrated, complex system. Coverage spans the full spectrum of activities required to take a new warship concept to operational readiness, from initial concept exploration through delivery and acceptance. Topics include synthesis and analysis during design development, management of design through successive phases, systems integration challenges and methodologies, and lifecycle support considerations for modernization and sustainment.
Key Features:
- Covers detailed Measures of Performance (MOPs), a Test & Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), and clear flow-charts that depict systematic design methodologies across major shipboard systems.
- Traces the evolution of warship design over the past millennium and drawing implications for contemporary and future designs.
- Provides practical insight into how performance requirements translate into system-level solutions and how multidisciplinary decisions affect overall platform capability.
- Includes thirty real-world case studies illuminate applied problems, trade-offs, and lessons learned from actual programs.
This book is suitable for ship design university courses and naval training programs in Warship Engineering including stakeholders involved in warship’s design, construction, and acquisition.
