This report is the initial effort in the development of LWPC as a suitable shipbuilding material and the identification of applications which are most suitable to the material. Therefore, the historical use and the current state-of-the-art of the material for ship construction is identified. The properties of the material and criteria for the design of LWPC ships are presented as well as considerations regarding the maintainability and repairability of LWPC hulls. In order to focus on suitable applications, LWPC hull concepts have been developed in order to compare costs and capabilities with existing Navy ships. (Author)
