To face this challenge, our team drew on the expertise from the Navy Technical Warrant Holder community in order to build the model, taking advantage of existing Design Process Workshops, sponsored by NAVSEA, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the CREATE Program of the Office of the Secretary of Defence (OSD). The Workshops engaged a broad spectrum of the ship design community. Among the Workshop attendees were experts in Machinery Design, Integrated Topside Design, and Mission Systems.
