For the first time, the study concerns all types of ships, supplying them with artillery and power plants. A comprehensive study of the sources allowed the author to give a new scientific assessment of many well-established provisions contained in the historical literature. The development of shipbuilding is revealed as a changeable process, whose characteristics were determined by the requests of the Naval Ministry, the need to meet the best examples of world shipbuilding, as well as the capabilities of Russian industry.
