This paper discusses the applicability of cost effectiveness methods to the problem of determining preferred design characteristics of surface, anti-submarine warships. A short introduction to the concept of cost effectiveness as applied to military weapons systems is followed by a description of the methodology applicable to adapting cost effectiveness techniques to selection of preferred warship design characteristics. The surface anti-submarine vessel is used as a vehicle for adapting the cost effectiveness methodogoly; explanations as to how the cost effectiveness model may be expanded to include other types of surface ships is included.
