The computer program determines the feasibility of producing an icebreaker having a given set of dimensions (input) which will satisfy given icebreaking requirements and other principal operational requirements. A ship is considered feasible if it can satisfy the weight, area, power and volume requirements associated with an input set of operational characteristics, viz., icebreaking requirements, crew endurance, cruising speed, etc. Should a ship fail to satisfy any of the major requirements, that ship will be rejected, the reason for the rejection being printed. It should be noted that no ship will be rejected which satisfies the requirements in an inefficient manner, i.e. should the deck area available be twice that required the ship would be considered perfectly feasible.
