This paper describes naval ship general arrangement design and analysis, a system engineering process that seeks the optimization of the ship as a total system. Through this system engineering process, the ship is geometrically defined by allocating scarce resources of area/volume and functional location. The general arrangement design team synthesizes a design from subsystem requirements, system constraints, and policy-maker influences through iteration and negotiation into the optimum general arrangement. The use of volumetric and area ratios and indices in this process are highlighted. The paper concludes with a discussion of a new methodology now under development for analyzing and comparing general arrangement alternatives. This new general arrangement evaluation methodology links operational performance objectives to ship design philosophy and subsystem effectiveness.

The problem of sewage and waste disposal from U. S. Navy ships is recognized by the highest authorities in the Navy. Many activities and individuals are deeply involved in the total problem and its numerous subcategories. The problem of costs of disposal is one of these. This paper discusses four optional methods for the disposal of shipboard domestic wastes. The annualized investment and operating costs associated with the implementation of each of the options are presented. The model considers non-nuclear, sea-going surface ships with a manning level greater than 50 men. Estimates were developed on a per ship per class basis and aggregated for the total surface fleet. This approach permits the inevstigation of different combinations of the options by merely specifying the number and type of ships to be considered in any option. Changes in military effectiveness, which is at least an equally important problem as costing, were not addressed.
