In particular, the theoretical bases of protection against non-contact underwater explosions and the design application to the different types of ships and systems are discussed. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The teaching aims to illustrate the main types of surface and underwater military units. The teaching deals with the main engineering problems related to military constructions: buoyancy, stability, choice of the propulsion system, dimensioning of plants and structures. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The teaching provides students with the basic concepts for designing the Military Ship. At the end of the teaching, the students will be able to understand the operational requirements and critically discuss the different design solutions in the military sphere. PREREQUISITES Knowledge of the fundamental subjects of naval engineering: naval architecture, shipbuilding, ship statics, propulsion plants.
