Therefore it recommended, and the Publications Committee as well as the Executive Committee approved, the inclusion in Ship Design and Construction of new chapters on Load Lines, Tonnage, and Launching which would then be deleted from future editions of Principles of Naual Architecture. At the outset, the Committee recognized that within a few years the Society's book Principles of Naval Architecture would also be revised and that it contained material which more properly pertained to design and construction rather than theoretical naval architecture. The purpose of the book remains essentially the same as that of the prior editions namely, a textbook "to assist students and others entering the field of shipbuilding towards a knowledge of how merchant ships are designed and constructed and to provide them with a good background for further study." Nevertheless, a number of considerations led the Committee to modify extensively the scope and organization of the book. Honsinger appointed the Control Committee and in April 1976, the Editor was appointed. Accordingly, in February, 1976 the Society's Executive Committee directed that the revision proceed promptly. 10048įoreword With the passage of time since the 1969 ediLior~of Ship Design arzd Constrilctiofi,progress in the related arts and sciences has increasingly dictated the need for an updated version.
