    Naval architecture is the science of designing waterborne vessels, including their hull, propulsion and other systems. Ships can be classified by their mission as military, merchant, work or leisure vessels. They can also be classified by hull configuration as monohulls, catamarans or other multihull designs. The design of ships is influenced by requirements for cargo capacity, speed, seakeeping, maneuverability, safety and other factors depending on the ship's intended use.

    NAVAL ARCHITECT
    SIMS
    Naval Architecture:
    • the science and engineering of designing ships and other kinds of waterborne
    crafts and subsystems.
    • Subsystem include Hull, machinery( power, maneuvering, propulsion, safety,
    cargo handling etc.), navigation and communication equipment, weapons, deck
    machinery, Central computer and damage control etc.
    TYPES OF SHIPS
    • By Missions

    -Military Purpose:
    Aircraft carrier, Cruiser, Destroyer, Frigates, Corvettes,
    OPV, Interceptors, Service vessel, Patrol boat (gun boat),
    Landing craft, submarines.

    -Non-military Purpose:
    a. Merchant Transportation: Container ships, Bulk carrier
    (wheat, coal, ore, mineral), Oil tanker (very large), RORO
    vessel, LNG or LPG tanker, Chemical tankers etc.
    • By Missions (continues)
    -Non-military Purpose:
    b. Work Platform: Offshore drilling; Oil and gas production;
    Oceanography research; Electronic tracking and surveillance –
    satellite, communication, weather monitoring and navigation
    assistance; Ocean mining and dredging; Fishing, fish-
    processing; Offshore processing – sea water, minerals;
    Offshore power generation; Offshore service – construction,
    pipe laying, salvage and retrieval, Ice-breaker; Offshore
    support for personnel;
    • By Missions (continues)
    -Non-military Purpose:
    c. Offshore commerce: Breakwaters, artificial harbors
    (marinas); Deep water mooring (buoys); At sea storage (gas
    and LNG terminal); Recreation (artificial reef);
    Sea fish farms; Wind Mills; Renewable Energy.
    d. Leisure and passenger transport:
    Cruise vessels, luxury Yachts, Race
    boats, Passenger ferries, Tourist boats, water taxis, Boat
    houses.
    • By Support (restoring) Forces
    -Supported by buoyancy force – Conventional displacement ship
    - Supported by Hydrodynamic force - Hydrofoil ships and Planning
    Hull ships, at Full Speed.
    -Supported by Aerostatic force (pressure) - Air cushion vehicles at
    full speed
    -Ground supported- Ocean drilling platform (median and shallow
    water)
    By no of hulls.
    • Monohull.
    • Catamaran.
    • Trimaran.
    • Quadramaran.
    • Pentamaran.
    By Configurations
    • Surface displacement: Conventional ships
    (single hull); Catamaran (double hull, large deck
    area, small displacement, excellent stability).
    • Near Surface: Air cushion vehicles; Hydrofoils
    and planning hull craft (small displacement, high
    speed)
    • Submerged: Submersibles; submarines;
    Underwater habitats; Submerged buoys.
    • Semi submersibles: Very deep, small water
    plane
    • Bottom supported: Temporary & Permanent
    jack-up;
    Design characteristics of a ship.
    General requirement of ships.
    • Range and endurance.
    • Speed and performance.
    • Transportation efficiency.
    • Cargo carrying capacity.
    • Pollution levels.
    • Safety and Comfort for passenger and crew.( Noise, vibration, ambient conditions
    etc.)
    • Seaworthiness ( Stability and structural safety).
    • Minimum motions( sea keeping).
    • Greater directional control( manoeuvring).
    • Stealth( radar, electronic, vibration, noise, heat signatures)
    • Pleasure.
    • Construction and dry-docking
    • Port and cargo handling
    • Canals
    • Special requirement( Ice breaking, amphibious, offshore platforms).
    • For Work Platforms:
    - Performance: motion, station keeping, structure.

    - Logistics: mobility, delivery system, support systems.

    - Economics: initial, operating cost, maintenance.
