Abstract

ABSTRACTKey aspects of the design development of a capable yet affordable high performance craft are addressed. These aspects include the development of mission requirements, the rationale for major design decisions, performance capabilities, and system and subsystem selection. The superior performance of the design, as demonstrated by an extensive model test program, led to the decision to develop a family of advanced fast patrol boat concepts. Selected family members are also briefly introduced. The paper, furthermore, demonstrates the successful integration of many major computer‐aided design (CAD) programs currently in use for U.S. Navy ship design.
