Naval Surface Combatant Ship Design Philosophy Including Associated Organizational Impacts

摘要

THIS PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN PAPER BY the late RADM Myron Rick-etts contains a wealth of knowledge and lessons learned about warship design. He is uniquely qualified having spent an unprecedented six years (1981-1987) as NAVSEA 05 (Deputy Commander for Ship Design and Engineering)-initially as a captain, then a 1-star, and ultimately a 2-star.
