A design guide for Naval Ship propulsion plants is developed and a sample problem is presented to demonstrate its usefulness and validity. Although the methodology discussed is not limited in scope, the plants addressed (and for which supporting data is included) are the conventional state-of-the-art plants in use today: Nuclear, 1200 PSI steam, Gas Turbine, Diesel and Combined Plants. The design approach is preceded by an introduction to the various propulsion plant fucntional areas. This discussion centers on the part these functional areas play in the overall design process and on how different plant types have both desirable and undesirable characteristics. The design approach coupled with the appendices is intended to enable a feasibility study to be made solely from the information contained in this thesis and a reasonable amount of input information. A sample problem using only the design approach and information in the thesis is presented to test this premise. (Author)
