This paper descirbes how ship weights are estimated. Detail is presented concerning relationships between existing weight data and the characteristics of a new design as it develops from completion of feasibility design through contract design. Margin requirements are also discussed. The weight estimating ratios and factors presented, while not directly associated with a specific ship type, cover the weight classification groups one would use in the design of a surface combatant. The purpose of this paper is to present the fundamentals of weight estimating to the ship design community. With this knowledge, ship design engineers and managers should be able to personally identify with the important parts they all play in creation of a credible weight estimate.

The structural design of a ship's section is a complicated, repetitive and time consuming task. With the advent of new technology, high speed computers have enabled the ship designer to accomplish in a matter of seconds what would formerly take days to accomplish by hand. The Structural Synthesis Design program (SSDP) is a N avy developed computer-aided design tool which is used to design (or to analyze) the longitudinal scantlings for a variety of ship cross sections, consisting of any practical combinations of decks, platforms, bulkheads and materials, i.e., various steel and aluminum alloys. The final hull section design will have the lowest practical weight for the chosen geometric configuration, structural arrangements, and imposed loadings. The scantling developed by the program will satisfy all U.S. N avy ship structural design criteria. An explanation of the objective and design elements of N avy ship structures is included. The rationale behind the SSDP design philosophy is developed along with the significant program capabilities. In an attempt to highlight the influence of automated design procedures on the current naval ship design process, the effect of the SSDP on the DDG 51 destroyer structural development is addressed.

One of the most serious problems encountered in Naval steam plants following World War II was the unreliable performance of boiler and main feedpump pneumatic control systems. In addition to control component and system design deficiencies, these control systems suffered from inadequate methods to measure and adjust system alignment. This paper describes the development of a set of procedures for on-line alignment verification (OLV) of pneumatic main boiler and feedpump control systems. The procedures are designed for use by N avy control system technicians and, in addition to on-line alignment verification, provide guidance for troubleshooting and for performing system alignment. Procedure static checks measure steady state steaming performance and OLV procedure dynamic checks measure the ability of the boiler and control systems to respond to load changes. The paper describes typical control system characteristics that influence OLV procedure content and the supporting analysis that was used to establish alignment criteria ranges that satisfy both steady state and transient performance requirements. Also described is the alignment criteria tolerance analysis along with the steps involved in a typical OLV check procedure development. Descriptions of the various OLV checks, troubleshooting procedures and alignment procedures are provided. Typical shipboard implementation requirements are described and experience to date with the procedures is provided along with a status report on OLV procedure implementations.

FLUK, HThe authorgraduated from New York University in 1952 as an Aeronautical Engineer and entered the United States Air Force (USAF). He attended the USAF Institute of Technology for graduate Aerodynamics
and following that served three years as a Project Officer in the field of Special Weapons. Returning to civilian life in 1957 he joined Curtiss-Wright Corporation's Engine Division and shortly thereafter transferred to the company's Model 200 V/STOL Aircraft Program later to become the Tri-Service X-19. His responsibilities variously included Flight Loads and Controls Aerodynamic Research and publication of the X-19 Aircraft Technology. In 1966 he joined Boeing's VERTOL Division initially working in helicopter stability and then in downwash and autorotation characteristics. This was followed by research and development and long-range planning and then assignment to introduce new computer services to the Engineering Department. In 1975 he joined the Naval Air Engineering Center Lakehurst N.J. to provide technology in horizontal and vertical engine jet flows and at the present time is Manager for Systems Studies in the Advanced Systems Office where he works with the Aircraft and Ship Communities to enhance military effectiveness at sea.

A weapons system has been configured specifically to counter (or preempt) the long-range standoff missile threat. Rationale for this system starts with a discussion of cost and weight, and shows why modern multi-mission systems have become intolerably expensive. Questions are raised regarding the advantages and disadvantages of building future naval aviation forces solely around the Aircraft Carrier Battle Group. The application of a few small modern ships, forming a future Battle Force, holds promise for large economies. Likewise, some accepted views regarding CTOL (Conventional Take Off & Laundry) and V/STOL (Vertical Short Take Off & Launding) aircraft are revisted in terms of their relative costs. A weapons system is proposed which, at one-fourth the weight of an Aircraft Carrier Battle Group, may be produced and operated for one-third the cost.

This paper describes an evolving Arithmetic Design System (ADS) to support the quantitative evaluation of alternate number systems with respect to a given application and realization technology. In computer arithmetic we are concerned with establishing a correspondence between abstract quantities (numbers) and some physical representation (symbols), and with simulating the operations on these symbols. The ADS is intended to help study the cost and performance of alternate simulations. A finite number system is a triple consisting of a symbol set (elements are called "digit-vectors"), an interpretation set, a mapping between these two sets, and a set of operators (digit-vector algorithms) defined on its symbol set. A set of these digit vector algorithms are proposed for conducting arithmetic design. A number system matrix defines the digit vector algorithm for numerous number systems and a method for computing time and space complexity of compositions of these algorithms is proposed. An example of how the system could be used to compare addition, with and without overflow detection, for three number systems is given.

The machinery arrangement design process has remained relatively unchanged over the years. Recently, external demands have been placed on both the product and the producers that call for changes to this process. This paper cites these external demands and traces the evolution of the process changes from the rule-of-thumb machinery box sizing routines up to the current automated procedures. The machinery arrangement design practice is presented, and existing analytic and graphics aids are discussed. The user requirements for improved design aids are presented, with implementation guidelines and hardware/software alternatives.

This paper explores the history, current trends and recent studies, experiments, and initiatives in the area of wind propulsion. The recent history of the development of sail as a means of ship propulsion is reviewed with regard to both sail and hull type. Studies and experiments are discussed such as evaluation for the U.S. Navy in 1956 of the use of ladder type hydrofoils with Marconi sails; a surface penetrating foil design, called an aerohydrofoil, developed in the early 1960s and recently successfully built and tested by its inventor; and the German Dynaship concept which uses an updated square rig sail configuration. Potential uses of sail for naval and commercial applications are presented, involving various sail forms such as air-foils, the Dynaship concept, the Flettner rotor, and Marconi rigs, and hull designs such as SWATH, Hydrofoil and Displacement. The paper also discusses some of the characteristics of wind over the world's oceans and their impact on the use of sail in naval and commercial service. The need for auxiliary fossil-fuel propulsion systems also is reviewed. An economic comparison of the cost of building and operating various sized sail-powered ships on selected routes is provided.
