How Improved Corrosion Control Practices in the U. S. Navy's Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer Engineering Spaces Might Enhance Ship Efficiency While Operating

Abstract

This research attempted to answer how improved corrosion-control practices in the U.S. Navy's Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer engineering spaces might enhance ship efficiency. It can be confidently stated that effective corrosion control in Arleigh Burke Destroyer engineering spaces clearly enhances ship efficiency. A semi-systematic review of the literature was used as a methodology. Data were mined using a Synthesis Matrix that isolated meta-narratives that were used later in a meta-analysis of the literature. The identified meta-narratives led to eleven emerging patterns. These patterns were condensed into six major themes and finally synthesized into two primary categories: corrosion control and ship efficiency. Although no causal relationships were proven, strong interrelationships were identified.
