The report summarizes some comments from the merchant fleets based on over ten years of experience with highly automated ships and small crews. Discussion centers on design, construction, maintenance, support and social problems. Future trends are also identified. The U.S. Navy's recent experiences, as well as short and long range programs, are presented. The report concludes that present Navy efforts are aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of ship automation and crew reduction, whereas these concepts have been proven in the commercial world. A skeleton program is presented to float a demonstration ship before 1980. (Author)
