Water-tightness, smallest possible deadweight tonnage consistent with the required dimensions, and extreme conditions of stress encountered in hogging and sagging in heavy seaways, are the outstanding special problems. Since the introduction of mild steel, in lieu of wrought iron, as the principle material in ship construction, the scantlings (sizes of plates and frames in ship building) have been reduced and the designs simplified, in general. Riveted construction had progressed to the limit where further simplification and reduction in scantlings would impair the seaworthiness of the vessel. The advent of welding, as the method of fabrication, changed the whole picture and opened up many possibilities for economies in construction as well as being the means of approaching the ideal joint. / http://www.archive.org/details/sequenceinwelded00hink / U.S. Navy (U.S.N.) author.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The purpose of the Littoral Combat Ship is to provide the Navy with an affordable, small, multi-mission ship capable of independent, interdependent and integrated operations inside the littorals. The Littoral Combat Ship will be designed to replace high-value Naval assets when conducting high-end missions such as littoral Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Mine Warfare (MIW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) as well as perform low-end missions such as Humanitarian Assistance (HA), Non-combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) and Maritime Intercept Operations (MIO). In order to accomplish these missions and successfully counter the enemy's littoral denial strategy, the Navy has stated the Littoral Combat Ship must incorporate endurance, speed, payload capacity, sea-keeping, shallow-draft and mission reconfigurability into a small ship design. However, constraints in current ship design technology make this desired combination of design characteristics in small ships difficult to realize at any cost. This thesis (1) analyzes the relationship between speed, endurance, and payload to determine the expected displacement of the Littoral Combat Ship, (2) determines the impact of speed, displacement and significant wave height on Littoral Combat Ship fuel consumption and endurance, and (3) analyzes the implication of findings on Littoral Combat Ship logistics. / Lieutenant Commander, Supply Corps, United States Naval Reserve
