SHIPBUILDING
Iron and steel ship construction methods basically followed
the way wooden ships were built That is, the keel was laid,
stem and stern posts erected, frames erected, deck beams
erected, plating applied to shell and decks.
The ship was launched as soon as possible, without much
outfit and machinery installed, towed to an outfitting pier
where the engine would be installed and the ship completed.
Welding enabled a major change in the way ships were built.
Welded sub-assemblies were constructed and assembled into
panels and double bottoms in the fab shops and then erected
on the berth. This approach was called pre-fabrication and
the outfit that was installed in the assemblies, pre-outfitting.

SHIPBUILDING (Continued)
With the increase in the size of ships, the pre-fabrication and
pre-outfitting approach was further improved and the block
construction and advanced outfitting approach was developed
The final step in the development was Zone Outfitting
Current improvements are in the areas of CAD/CAM/CIM
implementation automation of structural and pipe fabrication
and robotics in many shipbuilding applications

SHIP REPAIR
Ship repair is greatly impacted by environmental concerns:
blasting lead paint from hulls
painting/overspray
removing asbestos and other insulation
