Question

Ship structure and design?

Answer 1

Um....kinda vague question....check wikipedia under naval architecture

There are a lot of "rules" when it comes to ship design. I'm studying aerospace engineering, but a lot of the rules carry over (from ship to airplane, believe it or not).

Things like length-to-beam ratios, reducing skin friction, etc.

Answer 2

they are all designed to displace more water than what they weigh. then they are designed to use a force to propell them through tha water.

and then they are designed to offer the least resistance to itself passing through the water.

shiver me timbers , catch my drift?

As ma bras say, lay and lean when tha wind is mean and know tis more a boat than a box your in.

Answer 3

And you want ot know...???
