OE 661 Principle of Naval Ship Systems
This course will provide the student with a broad overview of the many systems and design considerations specific to naval ships. Topics include navigation, surveillance and combat systems for a wide variety of common naval ships. Design considerations, such as underway replenishment, aircraft take-off and landing, launching of boats, port and shore operations, and the effects of ship motions on the limitations of the crew will be covered in the context of developing a systems-based approach to naval ship design.
