Computer program status
The power calculation program is working well. I may have a standalone version of that as it is a natural thing to want, if you are interested in ship design and analyzing ships. I am currently working on the warship general design program which takes a specification file and produces a detailed list of weights, as well as the power curve. I expect to include range calculations, as well, based on Frank Fox's system that takes electrical generation power usage. This is another good candidate for a standalone program. The ultimate intended user of this program is a warship general design expert system, which would take very high level specs and produce some alternative ship designs, for use in gaming.
