Abstract

Naval ships are designed to operate in hostile environments, which exposes them to an ever-present risk of getting hit by weapons fired by an enemy. Potential consequences of a hit may be serious or even catastrophic. Therefore, survivability is a major design driver of naval ships. What is survivability, how do we measure it, and – most important – how do we design survivable naval ships?
