Principles of Naval Architecture Second Revision Volume I + Stability and Strength Edward V.

Roce aed LB. Choprnan stat thatthe purpose RS wonk wa to “adequately cover Ue field of naval architectare in one text.” This ‘hey did nto volumes, serving the Society's students and members more than adequately for nearly 3D years "The Fst Revision was publihed in 1967, with John P. Comstock serving both as ‘chairman of te Control Commitee and ltr Te consisted of one volume containing 11 ‘haplers and an Appendix. Continuing changes in naval architectare sch as technical practices, new enteria and regulations regarding damage stability and ship strength, new Tnowledge about ocean waves and seakeeing, and the use of computers, prompted the Society to undertake the Second Revision in 1978. President Robert, Young appointed Som J. Nachtsheim as Charman ofthe Control Committee, and Professor Edward V {Lewis was named Bator. Serving onthe Control Commitee, charged with the important tials of choosing te authors and review ofthe chapters, wore Thomas M. Buermann, Willa A Clear, Richard. Couch, Jerome L. Goldman, Jacques B. Hader, Ronald K iss, Donald P. Roseman, Staney G. Stancen and Charles ote.

It bad been only eleven years since the prior revision but that time span was an exlasive ope in maritime technology.
