... The SSC must be armed with facts concerning the current status of and trends in ship structural design and construction education before it can make proper decisions on how to improve the situation. Recommendations Perform the following tasks: · Perform a study to assess the current status of applicable ship structural design and construction training in North America and trends in the condition of that training.
