<p>A ship having at least its side portions and bottom portion comprised of a double hull construction consisting of an inner hull plating 3 and an outer hull plating 4 connected together solely, except for transverse bulkheads 6 disposed in spaced apart relation in the lengthwise direction of the ship, by a plurality of connecting longitudinals 5 fixed to said transverse bulkheads 6. According to the arrangement, external forces exerted on the ship may be transmitted through the connecting longitudinals 5 to the transverse bulkheads 6 so that the inner and outer hull platings 3,4, may be protected from buckling. The absence of transverses crossing the longitudinals greatly facilitates the automatization of welding operation. <IMAGE></p> |
