DEVELOPMENT OF WATER VEHICLE BASED ON MODULAR FLOATING PLATFORM

Abstract

Water vehicle is a vehicle used in water, including a ship, a ship, a hovercraft, a submarine. Water vehicles usually have a propulsive capability (whether sailing, oar, paddle, or engine) and are therefore distinct from a simple device that merely floats, such as a log raft. Water vehicles are generally distinguished from boats by size, shape, load capacity and tradition. The design of a water vehicle is typically designed to achieve a compromise between internal capacity (tonnage), speed and seaworthiness. Tonnage is primarily used in transport operations, speed is critical for warships, and protection is a primary concern for less skilled or sometimes smaller and less reliable training and leisure vehicles. This is due to the high degree of regulatory enforcement expected by larger watercraft, which ensures extremely rare instances of foundering at sea by the use of rigorous computer modelling and ship model basin testing prior to the start of shipyard construction.
