 Preface to the Fifth Edition

GENERAL
Modern ships are large and complex and, unlike other forms of transport,
many have to provide accommodation for human habitation over extended
periods. They operate in a changeable environment which can be very hostile
and their responses to that environment can be highly non-linear. To design
and build efficient and effective ships can be very demanding.
For many years the naval architect made many simplifying assumptions in
order to quantify the ship characteristics of stability, strength, speed and so on.
Ships evolved slowly as making significant changes from existing practice
was risky. Calculations had to be done manually using simple devices such as
slide rules. With modern research, combined with massive increases in com-
puting power, problems can be tackled more thoroughly. For instance, a ship’s
responses as an elastic body in irregular waves can be computed taking account
of interactions between motions and of non-linearities. This requires a much
deeper understanding of the subject and it is not possible to cover all aspects of
the subject in depth in one volume.
This book provides a broad appreciation of the science and art of naval
architecture explaining the subject in physical rather than in mathematical
terms. This provides a clearer understanding of the underlying principles
involved and should be adequate for many associated with maritime matters.
For the naval architect proper, it provides the framework upon which to build
the deeper understanding needed by a designer, builder or researcher.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE BOOK

Naval architecture involves two distinctly different tasks the analysis of
individual design characteristics and the synthesis of a design from those ele-
ments. Analysis calls upon procedures and theories developed over the years.
It can be regarded as the science/engineering of the subject. Design is more
an ‘art’ both in an aesthetic sense and in arriving at a well balanced design
meeting often conflicting requirements.
Analysis is relatively straightforward, although by no means simple.
The basics are common to all types and sizes of ship and craft. Synthesis is
more difficult both to achieve and to explain. It requires experience and flair.
It is in the synthesis (design) stage that quite different vessels in function,
appearance and size emerge. As an example, consider supporting a load
on a circular support on a structure which is predominately composed of

xi
xii Preface to the Fifth Edition

transverse and longitudinal bulkheads. Once a structural solution is sketched

it can be checked to ensure it is adequately strong. Whilst there may be
uncertainty in ascertaining the loads, the ‘art’ is in envisaging an efficient
method of transmitting the loads from the circular support to the surrounding
structure.
Textbooks can either deal with the naval architectural elements first and
then show how they are applied during design or begin with the synthesis
process showing what supporting naval architectural elements are needed
and then considering these elements in turn. This book adopts the first
approach. The earliest chapters deal with terminology, definitions and nota-
tion providing the means of communicating in a precise, unambiguous
way. The next few chapters deal with ‘analysis’ and the later chapters with
‘synthesis’. Where it is deemed appropriate, more detailed matter is placed
in appendices to leave the main text more free flowing.
Advanced methods such as Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided
Manufacture (CAD/CAM) systems are outlined, in general terms. The
underlying naval architectural principles remain the same and it is these
fundamentals this book covers. The practitioner should master them before
embarking on more advanced methods. Often the advanced methods such as
the latest the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) probabilistic meth-
ods of damage stability assessment are less transparent to the user. For this
reason this book includes the traditional approaches in areas where it is felt
they demonstrate more clearly the principles involved. Also many existing ships
will have been designed using these earlier methods. It is the methods of appli-
cation rather than the principles which have changed.
This edition takes account of the views of users of earlier editions on the
balance and coverage of the subject. It reflects the continuing developments
in technology, changes in international regulations and recent research.
SI units are used almost universally and are used in the main text. To assist
those wishing to use data in Imperial units conversion tables are given in an
appendix. So is the Froude notation because of its importance in early work
on ship resistance.
Appendix E presents a range of questions based on each chapter of the
book for use by students and lecturers.
References and websites are given where they provide information on recent
developments or more detailed information on topics. Many of the reference
documents can be accessed from websites and this is indicated. The Internet
contains much other useful information but may not be on a site for long.
Students can use these but they require some overarching knowledge of the
subject before they can be used intelligently. This book aims to provide that
understanding.

Introduction

GENERAL
Modern large ships are perhaps the most complex of modern engineering
projects and represent the largest man-made mobile structures. Ships still
carry over 90% of world trade and still carry large numbers of people on
pleasure cruises and ferries in all areas of the globe. Ships, and other marine
structures, are needed to exploit the riches of the deep. Their design, build,
maintenance and operation, in all of which naval architects play a major role
or exert considerable influence, are fascinating activities.
Although one of the oldest forms of transport, ships, their equipment and
their function, are subject to constant evolution due to changes in world trade
and technology and by pressure of economics. Other changes are driven by
social changes and, in particular, by the public’s desire for greater safety and
for more protection of the environment.
A feature of many new designs is the variation in form of ships intended
for relatively conventional tasks. This is for reasons of efficiency and has
been made possible by the advanced analysis methods available, backed up
by model experiment when needed. These enable unorthodox configurations
to be adopted with confidence.

NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND THE NAVAL ARCHITECT

What is naval architecture and what is required of a naval architect? In essence,
one can say that naval architecture is the science of making a ship ‘fit for pur-
pose’ and a naval architect is an engineer competent in naval architecture. A
fuller answer on the nature of naval architecture is to be found in Ferreiro
(2007). In summary, he defines naval architecture as:
The branch of engineering concerned with the application of ship theory within the
design and construction process, with the purpose of predicting the characteristics and
performance of the ship before it is built.

2 Introduction to Naval Architecture

He defines ship theory as

The science explaining the physical behaviour of a ship, through the use of
fundamental mathematics or empirically derived data.

The Ship
‘Ship’ should be interpreted broadly to mean any structure floating in water.
It is usually self-propelled but may rely on tugs for movement. Others rely
on the wind. Marine structures, such as harbour installations, are the prov-
ince of the civil engineer.
The purpose of a merchant ship is to carry goods, perhaps people, safely
across water. That of a warship is the support of government policy. In
ordering a new merchant ship, the owner will have in mind a certain volume
of cargo to be carried on voyages between certain ports with an average jour-
ney time. Each requirement will have an impact upon the ship design. For
instance:
G The type of cargo may be able to be carried in bulk or may require
packaging; it may be hazardous or it may require a special on-board
environment.
G The volume of cargo will be the major factor in determining the size of
the ship. There may be a need to move the cargo in discreet units of a
specified size and weight.
G Ports, plus any rivers and canals to be negotiated, may place restrictions
on the overall dimensions of the vessel. Depending on the port facilities,
the ship may have to have more, or less, cargo handling equipment on
board. The routes used also dictate the ocean areas to be traversed and
hence the sea and weather conditions likely to be encountered.
G Schedules dictate the speed and hence the installed power. They may
indicate desirable intervals between maintenance periods.

Fit for Purpose

To be fit for purpose, a ship must be able to operate safely and reliably.
It must:
G float upright with enough watertight volume above the waterline to cope
with waves and accidental flooding.
G have adequate stability to cope with operational upsetting moments and
to withstand a specified degree of flooding following damage. It must not
be so stable that motions become unpleasant.
G be able to maintain the desired average speed in the sea conditions it is
likely to meet.
G be strong enough to withstand the loads it will experience in service.
Chapter | 1 Introduction 3

G be capable of moving in a controlled way in response to movements

of control surfaces, to follow a given course or manoeuvre in confined
waters.
The ship must do all this economically with the minimum crew. This
book deals with these various matters and brings them together in discussing
the design process and the different ship types that emerge from that process.
The design should be flexible because ship use is likely to change over the
long life expected of ships.

Variety
Naval architecture is a fascinating and demanding discipline. It is fascinating
because of the variety of floating structures and the many compromises nec-
essary to achieve the most effective design. It is demanding because a ship is
a very large capital investment. It must be safe for the people on board and
the environment. Unlike many other forms of transport, the naval architect
does not have the benefit of prototypes.
There are fishing vessels ranging from small local boats operating by day
to ocean-going ships with facilities to deep freeze their catches. There are
vessels for exploitation of undersea energy sources, gas and oil and extrac-
tion of minerals. There are oil tankers, ranging from small coastal vessels to
giant supertankers. Other huge ships carry bulk cargoes such as grain, coal
or iron ore. Ferries carry passengers between ports which may be only a few
kilometres or hundreds apart. There are tugs for shepherding ships in port or
for trans-ocean towing. Then there are dredgers, lighters and pilot boats with-
out which a port could not function. Warships range from huge aircraft
carriers through cruisers and destroyers to frigates, patrol boats, mine coun-
termeasure vessels and submarines.
Increasingly naval architects are involved in the design of small craft
such as yachts and motor cruisers. This reflects partly the much greater num-
ber of small craft, partly the increased regulation to which they are subject
requiring a professional input and partly the increasingly advanced methods
used in their design and new materials in their construction. In spite of the
increasingly scientific approach, the design of small craft still involves a
great deal of ‘art’. Many are beautiful with graceful lines and lavishly
appointed interiors. The craftsmanship needed for their construction is of the
highest order.
Many naval architects are involved in offshore engineering finding and
exploiting oil, gas and mineral deposits. Their expertise has been needed for
the design of the rigs and the many supporting vessels, including manned
and unmanned submersibles used for maintenance of underwater installa-
tions. This involvement will continue as the riches of the ocean and ocean
bed are exploited in the future and attention focuses on the polar regions.
4 Introduction to Naval Architecture

Ships come in a variety of hull forms. Much of this book is devoted to

single hull, displacement forms which rely upon displacing water to support
their full weight. In some applications, particularly for fast ferries, multiple
hulls are preferred because they provide large deck areas and good stability
without excessive length. In planing craft, high speeds may be achieved by
using dynamic forces to support part of the weight when under way. Surface
effect ships use air cushions to support the weight of the craft, lifting it clear
of the water and providing an amphibious capability. Hydrofoil craft rely on
hydrodynamic forces on submerged foils under the craft to lift the main part
of the hull above the waves.
Variety is not limited to appearance and function. Different materials are
used steel, wood, aluminium, reinforced plastics of various types and con-
crete. The propulsion system used to drive the craft through the water may
be the wind but for most large craft is some form of mechanical propulsion.
The driving power may be generated by diesels, steam or gas turbine, some
form of fuel cell or a combination of these. Power will be transmitted to the
propulsion device through mechanical or hydraulic gearing or by using elec-
tric generators and motors as intermediaries. The propulsor itself is usually
some form of propeller, perhaps ducted, but may be a water or air jet. There
are many other systems on board, such as means of manoeuvring the ship,
electric power generation, hydraulic power for winches and other cargo
handling systems.
Growing concern as regards pollution of the environment the atmo-
sphere and the oceans is having an increasing impact on ship design and
operations. ‘Greener’ forms of propulsion are being developed with greater
emphasis on efficiency to reduce usage of fuel.
A ship can be a veritable floating township of several thousand people
remaining at sea for several weeks. It needs electrics, air conditioning, sew-
age treatment plant, galleys, bakeries, shops, restaurants, cinemas and other
leisure facilities. All these and the general layout must be arranged so that
the ship can carry out its intended tasks efficiently. The naval architect has
the problems of the land architect but, in addition, a ship must float, move,
be capable of surviving in a very rough environment and withstand a reason-
able level of damage. It is the naval architect who ‘orchestrates’ the design,
calling upon the expertise of many other professions in achieving the best
compromise between many, often conflicting, requirements. Naval architec-
ture is a demanding profession because a ship is a major capital investment
taking many years to create and expected to remain in service for 25 years
or more. It is usually part of a larger transport system and must be properly
integrated with the other elements of the overall system. A prime example of
this is the container ship. Goods are placed in containers at the factory.
These containers are of standard dimensions and are taken by road, or rail, to
a port with specialised handling equipment where they are loaded on board.
At the port of destination, they are off-loaded on to land transport. The use
Chapter | 1 Introduction 5

of containers means that ships need to spend far less time in port loading
and unloading and the cargoes are more secure. Port fees are reduced and
the ship is used more productively.

SAFETY
Most important is the safety of crew, ship and, increasingly, the environment.
The design must be safe for normal operations and not be unduly vulnerable
to mishandling or accident. No ship can be absolutely safe and a designer
must take conscious decisions as to the level of risk judged acceptable in the
full range of scenarios in which the ship can expect to find itself. There will
always be a possibility that the design conditions will be exceeded. The risk
of this and the potential consequences must be assessed and only accepted if
they are judged unavoidable or the level of risk is acceptable. Acceptable,
that is, to the owner, operator and the general public and not least to the
designer who has ultimate responsibility. Even where errors on the part of
others have caused an accident, the designer should have considered such a
possibility and taken steps to minimise the consequences. For instance, in
the event of collision, the ship must have a good chance of surviving or of
remaining afloat long enough for passengers to be taken off safely. This
brings with it the need for a whole range of life-saving equipment.
Naval architects must work closely with those who build, maintain and
operate the ships they design. This need for teamwork and the need for each
player to understand the others’ needs and problems are the themes of a
book published by The Nautical Institute in 1999.

THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTERS

Over the last half-century, changing technology has had a tremendous impact
upon how ships are designed, built, operated and maintained. The following
are examples:
G Satellites enable ships to locate their position accurately using global
positioning systems. They can pick up distress signals and locate the casu-
alty for rescue organisations. They can measure sea conditions over wide
areas and facilitate the routeing of ships to avoid worst storms.
G Modern materials require much less maintenance, reducing operating
costs and manpower demands. New hull treatments permit much longer
intervals between dockings and reduce pollution of the ocean.
G Modern equipment is generally more reliable. Modularisation and repair
by replacement policies reduce downtime and the number of repair staff
needed on board. Electronically controlled operating and surveillance sys-
tems enable fewer operators to cope with large main propulsion systems
and a wide range of ship’s services.
6 Introduction to Naval Architecture

The biggest impact has been the influence of the computer which has
made a vital contribution to many of the changes referred to above. But it is
in the sequence of design, build, maintaining and running of ships that their
influence has been greatest for the naval architect. In some cases, these pro-
cesses have changed almost beyond recognition, although the underlying
principles and objectives remain the same.

In Design
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems enable concept designs to be pro-
duced more rapidly, in greater detail and with greater accuracy. Once the
concept design is agreed, the same CAD system can be used for the contract
design phase. Three-dimensional graphics and virtual reality techniques can
be used to interact with others more efficiently. CAD systems are integrated
suites of related programs and can accommodate advanced programs for
structural strength evaluations, motion predictions and so on.

In Production
Once construction is approved, data can be passed to the chosen shipyard in
digital form. This reduces the risk of misinterpretation of design intent.
Provided the designer’s CAD and builder’s computer-aided manufacture
systems are compatible, the builder’s task in producing information for the
production process can be reduced. The builder can develop the database as
the design is developed to provide all the details for manufacture and, later,
to pass on to those who have to operate and maintain the equipment and
systems.

In Operation
CAD systems make it easier to pass information on to those who are to oper-
ate and maintain the ship. Hydrostatic, hold and tank capacity, stability and
strength data can be fed into the ship’s own software systems to assist the
captain in loading and operating the ship safely. Listings of equipment and
fittings, with code numbers, will ensure that any replacements and spares
will meet the form, fit and function requirements. Computer-based decision-
aiding systems can help the master by providing guidance on the loading
sequences to eliminate the possibility of jeopardising the stability or strength.
In warships they can assist the captain when under enemy attack by suggest-
ing the optimum actions to take in defending the ship. It is emphasised that
they are only used in an advisory capacity in these roles. They do not reduce
the master’s or captain’s responsibility.
Computer-based simulators can assist in training navigators, machinery
controllers and so on. These simulators can be produced to various levels of
Chapter | 1 Introduction 7

realism, depending upon the need. The computer can provide external stimu-
li, through goggles or screens, which the operator can expect to experience
in practice. For instance, a navigational simulator can provide pictures of a
harbour and its approaches including other ships.
A computer is only a tool, albeit a very powerful one, and it must be
used intelligently. It is an aid to the human, although artificial intelligence
techniques can be used to help a relatively inexperienced person. So-called
expert systems can store information on how a number of very experienced
engineers would view a certain problem in a variety of circumstances. Thus,
a less-experienced person (at least in that particular type of vessel or
situation) can be guided into what might be termed good practice.
This is not to say that the tasks of the designer, builder or operator have
been made easy. Some of the more humdrum activities such as tedious man-
ual calculations of volumes and weights have been removed, but more
knowledge is needed to carry out the total task. Whereas in the past, a simple
longitudinal hull strength calculation, using a standard wave, was all that
was possible, a much more complex assessment is now demanded.

SUMMARY
Naval architecture can be an interesting and rewarding profession. A feel for
the variety to be found in the profession can be obtained by reading the
memoirs of eminent naval architects such as Marshall Meek (2003) and Ken
Rawson (2006) or a book such as that by Fred Walker (2010).
Ships vary greatly in size and use, and their associated capabilities and
qualities will be discussed in more detail as the fundamentals of the subject
are covered later in the book. A general text such as this can provide only a
general understanding of the problems involved and the methods used in
tackling them. To apply the methods, a student may need more detail and
this can be found in specialist textbooks dealing with specific subjects such
as powering and strength. Individual scientific papers can provide more
information on more advanced techniques.

Definition and Regulation

INTRODUCTION
In any engineering discipline, and naval architecture is no exception,
precision is necessary in defining the products created. Communications
with others must be clear and unambiguous. An internationally recognised
terminology has grown up over the years to aid this definition. Some of
the terms will be unfamiliar to those coming new to shipping. Others will
be familiar from everyday usage but may have a special and very precise
meaning in naval architecture. A reference to the right hand side of a ship
can be ambiguous; which side is meant depends upon where the person
addressed is standing and in which direction he/she is facing. To refer to the
starboard side of the ship allows no such misunderstanding.
A notation has also become generally accepted (the use of V and L to
denote speed and length are examples) for representing physical entities in
text
as a form of shorthand
and in equations. Appendix A outlines the
notation commonly used and the units used for different quantities.
The meaning of some terms used here will become apparent later.

DEFINITION
Defining the Hull Form
A ship’s hull form determines many of its main attributes, stability charac-
teristics and resistance, and therefore the power needed for a given speed,
seaworthiness, manoeuvrability and load-carrying capacity. It is important,
therefore, that hull shape be defined accurately. The basic descriptors such
as length and beam used must be defined. Not all authorities use the same
definitions, and it is important that the reader of a document, or user of
a computer program, checks the definitions adopted. Those used in this
chapter are those generally used in the United Kingdom and most are
internationally accepted.

10 Introduction to Naval Architecture

The Geometry of the Hull

A ship’s hull is three dimensional and is usually symmetrical about a fore
and aft plane. Throughout this book, a symmetrical hull form is assumed
unless otherwise stated. The hull envelope shape is defined by its intersec-
tion with three sets of mutually orthogonal planes. The horizontal planes
are known as waterplanes and the lines of intersection are known as
waterlines. The planes parallel to the middle line plane cut the hull in bow
and buttock lines, the middle line plane itself defining the profile. The
intersections of the transverse, that is the athwartships, planes define the
transverse sections.
Two sets of main hull dimensions are used. Moulded dimensions are those
between the inner surfaces of the hull envelope. Dimensions measured to the
outside of the plating are meant if there is no qualifying adjective. Moulded
dimensions are used to find the internal volumes of the hull
a rough indicator
of earning capacity.
Five different lengths used in naval architecture are defined below. The
first three lengths are those most commonly used to define the ship form and
are as follows (Figure 2.1).
G The length between perpendiculars (LBP or LPP) is the distance measured
along the summer load waterplane (the design waterplane for warships)
from the after to the fore perpendicular. The after perpendicular is com-
monly taken as the line passing through the rudder stock. The fore perpen-
dicular is the vertical line through the intersection of the forward side of
the stem with the summer load waterline.
