Lightness and speed: an old marriage with always-changeable aspects. In the shipbuilding industry, such a tie began to achieve particular emphasis in the Eighties, when designers strongly entered the world of large HSC (High Speed Carrier). Since then, the endless progress in design methods, material properties and production technologies, has been giving the designers several chances to reach the goal of high speed at sea, keeping installed power down to a minimum and hence sparing energy at the same time. This paper aims at giving a briefreview of: - the development in available reference rules and design methods; - the opportunities offered by the new generation of High Strength Low Alloy steels; - the opportunities offered by aluminium alloys; - the state of the art of production technologies and the future trends in this field.
