DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Shipbuilding Standards Master Plan was developed as NSRP Project 0360 in November 1992. This Standards Master Plan Update project was conceived to update the earlier project. Much has changed in shipbuilding standards, and most of the basic seven initiatives identified for the 1992 Master Plan have been resolved. They are 1. Establish a communications center for shipbuilding standards. 2. Become more involved in international standards. 3. Gain more domestic involvement in the shipbuilding standards community. 4. Refine the process for identifying and developing new shipbuilding standards. 5. Coordinate existing standards. 6. Convert the U.S. shipbuilding industry to the metric system. 7. Develop a marketing strategy for the plan. 8. Adopt or convert existing global standards for domestic use. This update includes an updated survey, the SP-6 tactical plan, new windows into standards on the internet, and more.
