Naval engineering is a specialized field of engineering focused on the design, construction, and maintenance of ships and other marine vessels. This discipline combines principles from various engineering branches, including mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering, to ensure that vessels are safe, efficient, and capable of performing their intended functions. Naval engineers work on a variety of projects, from commercial ships and submarines to offshore platforms and naval vessels. They are involved in every stage of a vessel's life cycle, from initial concept and design to testing and eventual decommissioning, ensuring that all aspects meet regulatory standards and operational requirements.
