Rawson (Author).. Basic Ship Theory Paperback by K. J.;Tupper, E.C
Good Foundational Knowledge Brian Trenhaile I am indebted to these authors for helping me to understand marine structures better. They start rather simply and move onto the complex rather fast without losing you in the process. I especially found the section on scantling effective plating widths helpful. I also was blessed by the w. "Naval Architecture has never been more interesting" according to Russell E. Kupferer. Well, maybe it has. Anyway, this book is really poorly written and frequently pisses you off. Plus, the index has only the words that you never need to look up. If you're buying this book you've probably been required to do it by some higher power, but don't buy it otherwise. Just use PNA
