[edit] Content summary

We discuss primarily the ship as a system, and as a link in the transportation system. Introduce the participant to the complexities in the marine environment and the mechanisms involved in the ship system. The participant is also introduced to the various terms used in naval architecture.

Research ship Planet of the German Navy, a SWATH design which evolved from the catamaran concept.

[edit] Learning materials

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing!

You should also read about the Wikiversity:Learning model. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple projects. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
