naval architect
Naval architects design, build, maintain and repair all types of boats from pleasure crafts to naval vessels, including submarines. They analyse floating structures and take various features into account for their designs such as the form, structure, stability, resistance, access and propulsion of hulls.
Also called: naval engineer/architect, outfitting engineer, vessel designer, maritime architect, marine architect, boat designer, submarine architect, naval vessel architect
