3. 02/68 - 05/80 Naval Ship Sys Command Naval Architect
He worked for 12 years as a Naval Architect/Marine Engineer working on
ship designs, developing Computer Aided Design tools for other naval
architects, and studying new concepts for naval ships. Ship design
projects include the FFG7 frigate, the DD963 destroyer, the proposed
Sea Control Ship anti-submarine aircraft carrier, a proposed nuclear
cruiser for the AEGIS targeting system (CSGN), and new less costly
fleet aircraft carriers. New concepts studies include Fleet Fire
Support ships, smaller aircraft carriers, air cushioned surface effect
ships, new hospital ships, Marine Corps rapid deployment support
ships, and Small Waterplane Multiple Hull (SWATH) catamaran type
ships.
Computer related work included development and/or modifications to
ship design synthesis computer programs to help design, analyze and
optimize configurations for destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines,
surface effect ships, and small waterplane twin hull (SWATH) ships.
Extensive work was done in the areas of application of active graphics
to the design of ship hull forms. The resulting HULGEN program is
used daily by naval architects to help define the surface ship hull
forms during the preliminary design stage in the ship design cycle.
The work done on a computer terminal with graphics capability allows a
naval architect to "draw" a hull form with expected parameters
including displacement, center of buoyancy, etc. in the matter of
minutes vice the manual drawing process that could extend for several
days. All programming was done in the FORTRAN IV language including
graphics packages where applicable, the latest being the PLOT 10
package from Tektronix. Computer hardware experience includes the IBM
7094, the IBM 360, the IBM 1130 with graphics, and the CDC 6700 with
graphics.
