OPERATIONS RESEARCH AND SHIP DESIGN

The Maritime Administration's Directed Research Program in part is directed toward Operations Research. Heart of this program is the development of a mathematical model for use in a computer to simulate the operations of a fleet of ships. Part of this model will be directed toward improving ship design so it can best serve the fleet operational needs.
