	Ship Building Milestones
		Ship's Force is required to report guarantee items to the industrial activity prior to the guarantee period expiration date.
		At the end of a commission a ship may recommission immediately with a new complement, may remain temporarily out of commission during a major dockyard refit, or if at the end of her active life may be laid up in reserve, or pending sale, or breaking up.
		Although a ship may "strike its colors in battle" to signify its surrender, the term "stricken," as in the Navy records refers to removing the aircraft or ship from active duty status.

	Ship Building pg 4
		The principles of ship structure and the nomenclature of its parts have long been established and are essentially the same whether the ship is a wooden sailing ship or a large modern tanker.
		The ship is given its shape by a series of symmetrically curved ribs or frames that run transversely and that are fastened to the keel at their centers.
		The entire plan of the ship structure is laid down on the flat floor of a special room or building known as the mold loft.

	Ship Building pg 5
		Ships and Shipbuilding, the types and construction of any large buoyant type vessel in which people travel or transport goods over the surface of the water.
		As mentioned earlier, the general structural details of wooden ships are the same as those of steel or iron ships, but the methods of construction differ somewhat because of the difference in the nature of the material.
		When the ship is ready for launching, the cradle is set in position, the keel blocks used during building are removed, and the surfaces of both the fixed and movable ways are heavily lubricated.

		In ships of war, the framing and sash lights upon the quarter-deck or round-house, through which the light passes to the commander's apartments; and, from the upper deck to the gun or messroom in frigates.
		In merchant ships it is the birthing or hord [sic] round the ladder-way, leading to the master's cabin, and in small ships is chiefly for the purpose of keeping the sea from beating down.
		The room and space of all ships that have ports should be so disposed that the scantling of the timber on each side of the lower ports, and the size of the ports fore and aft, may be equal to the distance of two rooms and space.

	Ex Astris Scientia - Starship Class Inconsistencies
		Registries of TOS and movie ships are often inconclusive, nevertheless, the NCC-1864 of the U.S.S. Reliant suggests that it was built some time between NCC-1701 (2245) and NCC-2000 (2285).
		Anyway, despite Okuda's "secondary canon" explanation the ship seen in the episode could be anything else, after all there were supposed to be dozens of ships (the Ninth Fleet) close to the station at that time.
		Although it may have taken more than a decade to build the first twelve ships, there is no reason to believe that a once established design couldn't be built faster, in a six-year period from 2368 to 2374.

	Ship Building
		The building of fishing boats, and the necessity of leaving these boats on the Island over the winter, was one major impetus to settling Newfoundland.
		Although ``ship'' has come to refer to any large, decked vessel, by a narrower definition the term refers specifically to a vessel with three masts, all of which are fitted with square-rigged sails (two-masted square-riggers were known as brigs).
		They could be sailed with fewer hands than square-rigged ships and brigs, could be quickly manoeuvered to take wind from either side, were easier to sail in cold weather and (of particular importance for fishing vessels) did not require as much deck space for the handling and stowage of sails and rigging.

		Ships like the Speedwell of Pwllheli, Morning star of Conwy, Molly of Cemlyn the Providence of Caernarvon, The Blessing of Aberystwyth, and the Jenny of Amlwch were among those who took cargoes in 1770 and 1771 to the Warrington Copper and Brass company.
		The stone removed was used to build a small pier, face the harbour walls and produce ore kilns and storage buildings for the copper ore. The original rock surface level, 35 feet above the new quay was retained as a road to the top of the storage bins.
		The failure of the corn harvest in the 1817 lead to riots in Amlwch and the stealing of the rudder of the corn ship The Wellington.

	Ship Building
		The 1997 QDR concluded that a force structure of approximately 305 ships fully manned, properly trained, and adequately resourced is assessed to be the minimum acceptable to satisfy the Navy’s forward presence and warfighting requirements.
		The fifth and sixth ships of the USS San Antonio (LPD 17) Class amphibious transport dock ship, which will serve as the functional replacement for four existing amphibious ship classes, were also funded in FY 2001.
		In the Smart Ship area, the Navy moved rapidly to apply the lessons learned in USS Yorktown in 1997, and more recently in USS Ticonderoga, and the first Smart amphibious ship, USS Rushmore.

	Ship Building
		It was customary in that day for families to build one or two ships, install one of the elder sons aboard as master and then watch him sail off to sea, either to make or break the family fortune.
		Builders needed more space to launch and fit the bigger ships they began producing in the Civil War era than the relatively small Cathance could offer; as a result, many of our builders moved to towns like Richmond and Bath on the broad Kennebec, and often ended up leading the building industry there.
		Most of Bowdoinham's larger ships were built in this period; we cite the SEA KING, a ship of 1491 tons, the 1268 ton ship PROTECTOR, the 1150 ton SANFORD, and the 1000 ton ship JENNIE EASTMAN.

		Those coast vessels were active in coastal shipping trade, carrying cordwood and charcoal to eastern coastal ports and as far as South America.

	Model ship Building Class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If you never have tried to build a model ship from a wood kit and you buy the wrong one to start with, you can be intimidated.
		The only drawback to these model shipbuilding classes is that you build a certain ship model for each ship building course or practicum you take.
		The great thing about model ship forums is the fact that there are so many modelers and they all have different areas they study for their models.

		Temple fleets were similarly organised: The priests of Amen appointed a Chief of the ships of Amen, the servants of Ptah a Chief of the Ships of the House of Ptah [3].
		The weakness of the state and its consequent inability to build ships needed for the transportation of people and goods stimulated private enterprise.

	Taylerson's Diagonal Principle of Iron Ship Building.
		Two models were constructed for this purpose, one to represent the present vertical mode of building, and the other to represent my patented diagonal principle.
		In all other respects the models were precisely similar, each having an elastic keel to admit of a proper distribution of the strain, which each structure rested on a fulcrum intended to indicate the position of a rock or sand-bank under its keel.
		Suppose a ship to rest upon a fulcrum in the centre of its keel, and equal weights to be placed at each extremity with a tendency to tear the ship asunder vertically amidships, as shown in the accompanying plate, then —
