The purpose of this thesis is to make a clean sheet of paper approach to develop a platform for a future frigate/destroyer size warship based on the operational requirements in the context of future crisis management and constrained resources. The envisioned timeframe is the beginning of the next decade, i.e. 2010+. Basic operational requirements regarding the bare warship platform will be weighted and discussed. The study is concentrating on the hull and propulsion configuration to support the derived operational needs. All weapons and control systems will be handled as interchangeable modules, hence only spaces and interfaces will be discussed in this thesis. Special emphasis is given to Total Ownership Costs and the risk from incorporating not yet introduced technologies. In addition to the classical monohull approach, Catamaran, Trimaran, SWATH and the O'Neill hull form configurations will be investigated as well. In comparison to the Combined Diesel and Gas Turbine (CODAG) and Combined Diesel or Gas Turbine (CODOG) propulsion Diesel Electric, Gas Turbine Electric and possible combinations of these propulsion concepts will be evaluated.
