    Abstract

    The US Navy 3KSES Program to examine the concept feasibility and develop required technologies and structural design for large oceangoing surface effect ships (including combat ships and warships) is described. Aspects include - principal design features; operational characteristics (performance manoeuvring stability); subsytems (hull structure propulsion electrical plant surveillance lift outfitting armaments) and effectiveness.

  • A family of underway replenishment ships

    Authors

    Abstract

    An analysis has been undertaken to determine the operational functional and system requirements for the next generation of Underway Replenishment ships. Rolls-Royce undertook detailed customer analysis around the world during 2003/4. These requirement have been used to produce several ship designs of varying size and speed that are all incrementally upgradeable. Commercially developed and proven ferry hullforms have been used to provide efficiency good seakeeping and station keeping performance essential to cost effective fuel and solids transfer up to high sea-states. The design has been developed to allow flexible use of the ship for the transportation of various cargoes allowing for VERTREP and aviation support to fleet. The ships have been designed in 14000dwt and 25000dwt capacity versions with many different propulsion system options to suit the operating profile of the customer Navy. Full economic analysis of the propulsion options has been carried out to determine the most cost erffective solution through life. Full structural design and hydromechanic analysis has been completed to ensure confidence in the design weight speed and stability of the ships. The design has been developed with incremental acquisition in mind with many systems capable of being added later in th ship's life if required. These system options ensure an saffordable solution from the outset. the paper discusses the analysis hullform selection design development and overall analysis that has provided an adaptable and upgradeable design with high confidence and low risk.
