Excerpt from Structural Design of Warships The work of collecting the material and preparing it in a form that would be useful to the students presented considerable difficulty. The existing sources of information are very scattered, consisting in text books, handbooks, essays and articles, specifications, drawings, rules, and regulations. The text-books contain much valuable information, but, excepting some of the French books, they deal with so many other aspects of warship design that the discussion of structural features is necessarily brief and chiefly of a descriptive nature. It is the object here to present a more comprehensive discussion than hitherto given of this special branch of warship design, exhibiting in particular its relation to fundamental principles and conditions. On account of the vastness of the subject it has been found necessary to restrict the scope of the work to the main features of the hull proper. The descriptive part is made subservient to the discussion of principles; but where descriptions and sketches of structural parts are given, they represent, as far as possible, recent practice. Where important points of difference exist in the modes of construction in different navies they are critically compared. In the study of current practice it was often found difficult to discover the reasons why certain features were adopted and in some cases why they differed in different navies. The explanation is in general that once a certain mode of construction has been introduced in one of the leading navies and found satisfactory it becomes a standard. Gradually the reason for its adoption may be forgotten, and the construction is used as a matter of routine. It may even happen that the conditions which called forth the construction change or cease to exist, and that it survives simply because there is a vague feeling that something will go wrong if it is changed or abolished. A study of such questions cannot fail to be fruitful, because it leads naturally to suggestions 'for improvements. Moreover, in a work of this nature, it is desirable fully to state and explain the reasons for the adoption of the various structural features, inasmuch as such information will be of value, not only to the inexperienced student of the present time, but also as a matter of record for the future.

“Indispensable for any naval historian . . . charts the evolution of warship design and development in the years 1906-1922 in the United Kingdom.”—International Journal of Maritime History The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 ushered in one of the most rapid periods of warship development in history; and only ten years after this all-big-gun, turbine-powered battleship was completed, two entire fleets of Dreadnoughts would meet at Jutland and put the work of the prewar designers to the ultimate test. The renowned warship author, D. K. Brown, examines the development of these vessels and looks at how wartime experience affected warship design. As well as battleships and battlecruisers, for the first time the developmental history of smaller vessels such as minesweepers, monitors and escort vessels, built in direct response to wartime needs, is described, as is that of the submarine and aircraft carrier. A detailed study is made of battle damage, including the role played by ammunition explosions in the loss of three British battlecruisers at Jutland. Also described are the postwar capital ship designs, killed off by the Washington Treaty, which are among the most fascinating “might-have-beens” of naval history. A classic work again available for historians and enthusiasts, detailing the development of all those ships that enabled the Royal Navy to rule the waves supreme and defend country and empire. “The author has managed to make the technical detail accessible to the layman and consequently it is easy to read as well as being authoritative. Deserves to be on the bookshelf of any nautical enthusiast. Very highly recommended.”—Marine News

In the massive revolution that affected warship design between Waterloo and the Warrior, the Royal Navy was traditionally depicted as fiercely resisting every change until it was almost too late, but these old assumptions were first challenged in this authoritative history of the transition from sail to steam. Originally published in 1990, it began a process of revaluation which has produced a more positive assessment of the British contribution to the naval developments of the period. This classic work is here reprinted in an entirely new edition, with more extensive illustration.Beginning with the structural innovations of Robert Seppings, the book traces the gradual introduction of more scientific methods and the advent of steam and the paddle fighting ship, iron hulls and screw propulsion. It analyses the performance of the fleet in the war with Russia (18531856), and concludes with the design of the Warrior, the first iron-hulled, seagoing capital ship in the world. The author presents a picture of an organisation that was well aware of new technology, carefully evaluating its practical advantage, and occasionally (as with its enthusiastic espousal of iron hulls) moving too quickly for the good of the service. Written by an eminent naval architect, Before the Ironclad is both a balanced account of general developments, and an in-depth study of the ships themselves.

Ship Design and Performance for Masters and Mates is a quick to use, comprehensive reference that brings the key information needed to understand ship design and performance at your fingertips. The book covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, supplemented by exam revision one-liners. It does not assume detailed theoretical knowledge, but rather builds up the reader's understanding of how the elements of ship design influence and impact on its performance, and how the engineer, crew and operators can maximise the performance of their vessel in operation. Written by an experienced marine engineering consultant, author and lecturer, this book presents key facts and formulas, backed up throughout by relevant theory, illustrations and photographs. It includes examples of modern ship-types and their general particulars and covers topics ranging from design and power coefficients to types of ship resistance; types of ship speed; types of power on ships; designing a ship's propeller; details of maximum ship squats; the phenomena of interaction of ships in confined waters; mechanisms for improving ship handling; and improvements in power output. This book is an essential introduction and reference for students and those newly at sea, as well as for anyone involved with ship design, marine engineering, naval architecture, and the day-to-day operation of ships in port. * Accessible information on understanding and improving ship performance at your fingertips * Ideal for marine engineering students and those studying for certificates of competency * Covers all key aspects of ship design and performance, with exam revision one-liners
