Abstract
A monolithic ship's body is formed of a hull containing bulkhead partitions disposed in a hexagonal arrangement to form a grid symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the hull. The partitions are formed integrally with the hull. The junction between the side walls and the bottom of the hull is curved. Further, the bottom of the hull also has a curved configuration transversely of the longitudinal axis providing alternating convex and concave surfaces so that the bottom acts a hollow arch. The deck is formed integrally with the hull and the bulkhead partitions and is curved transversely to the longitudinal axis with its upper surface being convex. Steel concrete or prestressed concrete can be used in forming the monolithic ship's body.
