4.0 out of 5 stars The Naval Architect's Bible, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Principles of Naval Architecture: Stability and Strength (Microfilm)

This resource rates as a necessity for any Naval Architect or engineer working in the marine industry. Although at times difficult to use, the mountains of useful information contained in this particular volume make it indispensable. It includes all the basic "hand" methods" for calculating strength and stability in floating structures.

This review is from: Principles of Naval Architecture: Stability and Strength (Microfilm)

As a naval architect in private practice, I use this book often. It is primarily used as a reference, because it covers almost every topic imaginable. Many of my associates regard it as the most authoritive text (the Bible) on naval architecture. In my opinion it should be on the reference shelf of every practicing naval architect.
