Warship
2006: Future Surface Warships
This symposium, the 26th in RINA's successful Warship
series, will look at the next generation of surface warships. The
capabilities of new ships must be carefully balanced to complement
the existing naval inventories, meeting new operational requirements
in the post-cold-war world of the expeditionary force and the police
action, while bringing cost effective improvement wherever possible.
This is especially important where new designs have been conceived
to replace more than one class of ship, a trend that seems to be emerging
and which points towards the 'multi-purpose' warship. Joint nation
collaboration in the development and procurement of common ships is
still an important element in many projects where nations have similar
requirements. [More
