Overview
TAI provided the concept design, detailed design, and regulatory-approved engineering for this training vessel series, which is the only one built in the U.S. in the last 30 or more years. TAI also wrote the specification for the vessel. Six vessels of this class were built to ABS high-speed vessel rules, USCG Subchapter R (Public Nautical School Ship) regulations, and applicable IMO and SOLAS rules. TAI was responsible for the hull design, structural design, mechanical design, piping design, electrical design, electrical design, and all regulatory approvals. TAI did 3D modeling, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), shipyard production drawings, Numerically Controlled (NC) modeling, integrated logistics support, technical manuals, and training.
