However, the nomenclature of the several members of which the ship is composed and the parts and spaces provided in its erection differs from that used for buildings. In its construction, a ship or vessel, like a building, is started on its foundation and carried through to completion by the fitting and securing of its many parts together to form a designed shape.

"Nomenclature of Naval Vessels" has been prepared primarily for use in the apprentice schools at the various navy yards and stations.
