This is a proceedings of the Spring 1997 Meeting of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan. It includes 19 papers on structures, materials, welding, building, design and machinery of ships and floating structures. For the automation of ocean surveys, a development is conducted of cruising-type autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The following are important studies: 'Development of a small cruising-type AUV and training of constant altitude swimming,' 'Visual feedback navigation for cable tracking by autonomous underwater vehicles,' and 'Development of the hull inspection robot (RTV-SHIP).' Large floating bodies for the ocean space utilization are being proposed, and the following are useful for strength analyses: 'Structural analyses of very large semi-submersibles in waves,' 'An investigation on the dynamic response and strength of very long floating structures by beam modeling on an elastic foundation' relating especially to pontoon-type floating bodies with no mooring, and 'A basic investigation on deflection wave propagation and strength of very large floating structures.' The title 'Temperature effect on corrosion fatigue strength of coated ship structural steel' is very useful for prevention of the hull corrosion.
