U.S. NAVY SURFACE SHIP WEIGHT AND KG MARGINS REVISITED

Effective weight and KG <height of vertical center of gravity above the keel> margins are an essential element of the U.S. Navy Weight Control Program. Margins are not only an engineering tool for making technical predictions, but are embodied in the fiscal process as well. This paper discusses the results of the various studies and includes conclusions and recommendations concerning updating of the NAVSEA Weight and KG margin policy.
