Comparison Between Different Survivability Measures on a Generic Frigate

Abstract

The authors are to be thanked for publishing results from their Swedish Navy funded work into frigate Survivability. Given the sensitivity of the subject, while there have been a lot of recently published articles on the topic of warship survivability, it is worthwhile to get a view from a navy still considering relatively small warships to be frigates. It is also very helpful to have a set of four “Survivability levels” (at end of Section 2.1) to gauge a design’s performance in this regard.
