The Office of Naval Research (ONR) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to examine the state of basic and applied research in the scientific fields that support naval engineering and to advise it on whether ONR activities, under its National Naval Responsibility for Naval Engineering (NNR-NE) initiative, have been effective in sustaining these fields. The NRC's Transportation Research Board (TRB) Committee on Naval Engineering in the 21st Century reached conclusions and recommendations in five areas: the value of the NNR-NE, the state of science and technology supporting naval engineering, the wholeness of the NNR-NE research portfolio, opportunities for enhancement of research and education, and the effectiveness of the NNR-NE initiative. The conclusions and recommendations are presented in summary form in this Special Report, followed by a more detailed discussion in the body of the report. Appendix A of the report contains a list of the presentations given to the committee at public meetings and workshops; the presentations may be viewed at www.trb.org/PolicyStudies/NavalEngine21Century.aspx. Appendix B contains abstracts of the nine papers commissioned by the committee. The papers provide technical, policy, and historical perspectives on issues important to the study; they are also available at the above website.
