A turning point occurred in naval engineering in 1972 when the U.S. N avy chose to use marine gas turbines for the propulsion of its new SPRUANCE and PERRY Class ships. This paper reviews the more than twenty years of experience with turbine technology and its design integration into combat ships needed to make that decision. It is concluded that the availability of a good second generation aircraft derivative engine with proven reliability and a strong commercial base, i.e., the LM-2500, was as important to the decision as was the predicted improved ship effectiveness and cost benefits. This paper discusses improvements that can be made to the twin engine, single gear, single propeller shaft system. Focusing only on this mechanical transmission concept, it addresses the impact of possible improvements to the engine, gear, and shafting. In particular, the paper discusses current LM-2500 related R&d efforts to: (a) obtain improved part-power fuel rates, (b) integrate with a reversing reduction gear, and (c) add on a waste heat recovery steam cycle. Looking ahead to the year 2000, this paper suggests that a successor to the ubiquitous LM-2500 will appear in the 15 MW power range to provide the next step in the evolution of the twin engine package. This new naval engine will most likely be based on an aircraft core that exists at present, such that it will have demonstrated its reliability and commercial potential through many hours of testing prior to its mid-1990 marine conversion. This new engine is expected to offer improved air flow, an excellent fuel rate (approaching a flat 0.30 LB/HP-HR), and effective maintenance monitoring, all at some expense in size, weight, and cost. The year 2000 engine will burn a liquid hydrocarbon fuel similar to JP-5 because of its aircraft origins. Combined with advances in gear and shafting technology, the full twin engine propulsion system of the year 2000 should be markedly lighter, smaller, and more efficient than today's units.

A ship design methodology is presented for developing hull forms that attain improved performance in both seakeeping and resistance. Contrary to traditional practice, the methodology starts with developing a seakeeping-optimized hull form without making concessions to other performance considerations, such as resistance. The seakeeping-optimized hull is then modified to improve other performance characteristics without degrading the seakeeping. Presented is a point-design example produced by this methodology. Merits of the methodology and the point design are assessed on the basis of theoretical calculations and model experiments. This methodology is an integral part of the Hull Form design System (HFdS) being developed for computer-supported naval ship design. The modularized character of HFdS and its application to hull form development are discussed.

This paper provides a context within which the role of human factors engineering (HFE) for Naval ship design may be understood. HFE is defined and its history as part of engineeringdesign teams is traced. The role of HFE in ship systems design is defined, and the HFE technology for Ships program, managed by SEA 061R, is described. The rationale for inclusion of HFE in the design process is presented, the methodology whereby it is incorporated into the design process is detailed, methodology to assess the application of HFE is outlined, and the benefits that will accrue as a result of inclusion of HFE considerations in the design process are documented. The counterpoint to inclusion is illustrated through instances of design-induced human errors. A specific application of HFE in the acquisition process is illustrated through use of the Landing Craft, Air Cushion HFE program plan. The difficulties which may be encountered as the size of the target system expands are described. Potential roadblocks to the required incorporation of HFE are examined for their source and possible ameliorative steps.

Alternative advanced power systems designed to operate a 500-ton submersible have been examined with respect to overall weight and volume fractions. Two-week and one-month missions, with and without the conventional “at-sea” recharge capability, were considered to evaluate the impact of advanced technologies on non-nuclear submarine design. Candidate air-breathing, primary-power systems studied includeddiesel, Closed-Brayton Cycle (CBC), and fuel cells. A number of options for underwater operation were based upon high-energy reactants replenlshable from Base supplies. Another set of options was considered based upon using JP-S fuel with “at-sea” rechargeable secondary power systems, including thermal-energy storage, advanced lithium-sulfur batteries, or flywheels. Replenlshable high-energy reactant systems were, on average, lower in weight and volume than the rechargeable systems for the same submerged-mission profile. Moreover, the replenlshable systems permitted an extended tactical encounter with a maximum duration of 8 to 17 hours at speeds of 30 knots without the need to resurface and recharge a secondary energy storage device. The lowest-weight rechargeable systems in the order of increasing weight were the CBC engine with advanced lithium-sulfur battery, the CBC engine with carbon-block (thermal energy storage), and the diesel engine with advanced lithium-sulfur battery. The rechargeable systems required unacceptable weight fractions in both missions. The high-energy (replenlshable from Base supplies) systems, with the exception of the heavy acid fuel cell using LOX, were all acceptable candidates for application in the two-week mission. Only the CBC engine with a llthium-sulfurhexaflaoride heat source, the lowest-weight system in both mission groups, was acceptable for the one-month mission.

This paper is a report of a comparative naval architecture analysis of United States, Canadian, French, Netherlands, German, British, and Soviet Frigates. The investigation covered general arrangements, weapons and sensors, survivability, intact anddamaged stability, manning and personnel support (all of which me discussed in PART I), and hull form, propulsion, speed range, sea keeping, ship size, and future growth capability (to be published in PART II). Weapons and sensors were only addressed in terms of their impact on the weight and volume of the ship. The actual military effectiveness of each Frigate was not assessed.
One of the problems encounteredduring the design of the ASR‐21 Catamaran is the determination of the effectiveness of the cross‐structure deck plating. In this paper, this problem is examined using the Finite Eleme...
