The Shipyard State of the Art Report

Abstract

The Shipyard State of the Art (SOA) Report has been developed in support of the U.S. Navy MARITECH Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise (ASE) program. Three shipyard production-related Major Initiative Panels were chartered by the Executive Control Board of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) to produce this SOA annual report. The panels included Shipyard Production Process Technologies (SP- 16); Welding Technologies (SP-7); and Surface Preparation and Coating Technologies (SP-3) . A team of representatives from U.S. shipyards and the Navy Manufacturing Technology Program Centers of Excellence worked together to produce the report, which focuses on shipyard production processes and related technologies. Government and industry groups may use the report as a basis for comparing current practices with SOA practices. The SOA report also strives to improve the U.S. industry in a manner that is consistent with the mission and vision of the MARITECH ASE program.
