Lesson 23
SHIP DESIGN AND
ENGINEERING
Objectives
Know some basic ship design considerations
Understand the different stresses that a ship
may feel
Be familiar with the principal structural
elements of a warship
Understand how the compartmental
numbering system on a ship works
Understand some basics of submarine
construction
BASIC DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS
Seaworthiness
– Ship’s ability to operate in all types of
weather and sea states
– Made up of several factors
• Stability
• Displacement
• Freeboard
• Beam
• Hull shape
BASIC DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS (cont.)
Structural Integrity
– Engineering design
– Weight
– Resistance to operational stresses and
strains
BASIC DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS (cont.)
Operational Employment
– Mission
– Armament
– Protection
– Maneuverability
– Cruising Range
BASIC DESIGN
CONSIDERATIONS (cont.)
Tradeoffs
– Cost
– Life expectancy
– Port facilities
– Prime mover machinery/engineering
design
FORCES
STRESS
Tension
Compression
Shear
Torsion
STRAIN
Distortion resulting from stress
Amount of deformation
SAGGING
Deck under compression
Neutral axis experiences no stresses
Keel under tension
HOGGING
Deck under tension
Neutral axis experiences no stress
Keel under compression
STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
OF A SHIP
Principal structural
elements of a warship
Plating
Keel
Bottom
Framing
– Transverse
frames
– Longitudinal
frames
Bulkheads
Decks
COMPARTMENTAL
NUMBERING SYSTEM
4 PARTS
e.g. “3 - 75 - 4 – M”
Deck
– Main deck is “1”
– Up is “O1”, “O2”, etc
– Going down is “2”, “3”, etc
Frame
– Frame number at the foremost bulkhead of
the enclosing boundary
– If between frames, forward one is used
4 PARTS
e.g. “3 - 75 - 4 – M”
Compartment
– Centerline is “0”
– Port are even
– Starboard are odd
Use
– Capital letter designating use
– “A”: Stowage “L”: Living “E”: Emergency
– “G”: Gas “M”: Ammo “C”: Control
Basic structural
components of a submarine
U.S. submarines employ a single hull
design. Advantages include:
– Larger interior volume
– Quieter
Russian submarines employ a two-hull
design. Advantages include:
– Ease of fabrication
– Ability to absorb damage
Review/Summary
What is the difference between tension
and compression?
What is hogging?
What is sagging?
Describe where the following
compartment is located and what it is
used for:
4-67-3-L
