Ship Design

In the final issue of 1950 of this Journal, p. 81 an article was commenced on the design of ships with the intention of continuing it in the succeeding issues. It is regretted that for various unavoidable reasons it was not found possible to maintain the continuations as intended. Research in Naval Architecture is continually bringing new material to light. New methods of building and design are progressively being adopted, and often, by the time a method has been given publication a new one has come into practice making the other obsolete. It was partly to give due consideration to one such method that continuation of this article had been deferred.
