CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF MULTIROLE SUPPORT SHIP (MRSS) FOR ROYAL MARINE NAVY

Abstract

Developing effective defense systems for country requires the proper deliveries of defense and enforcement assets. A complete spectrum of a country protection mechanism depends on the availability of an efficient logistics support. A multi role support ship is a key element of this defense strategy. A multi role support ship will designed to be specifically suited for the above requirement. The development involves the conceptual design of the multirole support ship to meet the special requirements. This project involves the development of conceptual model of the multirole support ship including the initial analysis of the vessel design and performance. The process of analyzing by using multiple software such Maxsurf Bentley which to study about the structural design and weight, stability in ship equilibrium with multiple condition, the total resistance acted on the hull form develop and total power generated to achieved required ship optimal speed and the ship motion which to studies about the ship movement in heading seas. 3D modeling will be develop by using Rhinoceros 5.0 which helps in determination of total area and volume of block configuration design that have been develop. All of this parameter will describes and give an ideas to designer about the initial performance of the Multi Role Support Ship. In the estimation of weight which is a crucial part in ship design formulae from Manuel Ventura helps all the weight acted on the ship. The weights that includes in this studies are displacement, net and gross tonnage, machinery weight, hull weight, equipment weight and lightship.
