Issues for General Design of Warships

The following are issues to be considered when doing the general design for a warship:
  • dimensions
  • form coefficients (prismatic and midships coefficients)
  • displacement
  • armament
  • armor
  • power and speed
  • weights analysis
  • volume analysis
  • freeboard, stability, and seakeeping
  • structural strength and hull weight

My warship general design program currently addresses eight of these issues. I am in the process of going through each issue, doing verification and fixing problems. When this list is complete, the next step is a warship design expert system that will choose characteristics which would be processed and fleshed out by this component.
