Written by the former Chief Engineer with the Admiralty Research Establishment and past Vice-President of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, this book is fully revised to take account of advances in the field. It offers a clear and concise introduction to the subject, making it a key text for both students and practising professionals in all of the above fields.* CoversNaval architectureNaval architectureArchitectureElectronic books.Naval architecture.Architecture.623.81Tupper E.
