xii, 377 pages : 23 cm "Modern ships is a practical reference for ship's officers, cadets, naval architects, marine surveyors, and all others interested in the efficient building and operation of commercial ships. From a background of experience both as a ship's officer and an instructor, La Dage presents the theories and practices from naval architecture and ship construction that can be applied most practically to the problems confronting those who operate merchant ships.
