Modularity: Facilitator for Commercial Shipyards in Naval Shipbuilding

摘要

1. The concept of modularization has been accomplished with success. 2. There is previous experience engaging commercial shipyards in naval vessel construction, including boundary and system definition of naval modules by others. 3. Naval Vessel Rules from classification societies narrow the gap between commercial and naval design requirements and shipbuilding procedures. 4. Increased involvement of commercial shipyards in naval construction has the potential for lowering ship construction costs.
