Modern shipbuilding is a complex process that combines advanced technology, materials science, and engineering principles. Here are the key stages of the process: 1. Design and Planning: - Conceptual Design: This involves the initial idea, purpose, and general characteristics of the ship. - Detailed Design: CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software is used to create detailed designs and blueprints, including structural, electrical, and mechanical systems. - Simulation and Testing: Virtual models and
