The reality or otherwise of this perception can only be determined through a structured cost analysis approach. Through the application of such techniques the stakeholders can begin to understand and address the key issues driving the costs. This paper considers ship design from the perspective of key throughlife, cost-driving subsystems and by designing the ship to minimize the costs associated with these systems. At the simplest level, the ship is there to provide the infrastructure to support these systems. The proposed ship design process wraps the ship around the systems rather than fitting the systems into the hull.
