Introduction to Naval Architecture was written in the early 1980's as an introductory text for any naval architecture/marine engineering student, but especially for Naval Academy midshipmen learning about naval ship design. It includes overviews of ship geometry and hydrostatics, properties of shipbuilding materials (circa 1980s), strength and structure of ships, initial, overall and damaged stability, resistance, propulsion, ship motions in a seaway, ship maneuvering, and submarine hydrostatics. The text includes many example problems worked through step by step and includes a related set of homework problems. If you're studying or working in the field of naval architecture, this book is a useful addition to your reference library.
