We describe strain data recorded using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors mounted on the hull of a GRP composite ship. Twelve gratings were attached to the structure, in three arrays of four elements. The electro-optic system used was able to monitor a single set of four elements at a time. The preliminary results indicate the usefulness of distributed fiber Bragg grating sensor systems for monitoring transient loading events on such structures.
