ASNE Technical Symposium

Applying Composites In The Marine Environment: Overcoming

Barriers, Setting Standards, Progressive Learning

The American Society of Naval ngineers (ASNE) is jointly spon- >ring a technical symposium called

Applying Composites in the Ma- ne Environment" on November 8- 0, 1993 at the Radisson Plaza Ho- il, Savannah, Ga. The symposium 5 also sponsored by: • Supervisor of Shipbuilding,

Conversion and Repair, USN, New

Means • Navy Center of Excellence for

Composites ManufacturingTechnol- >gy

The Society of Naval Architects md Marine Engineers is also par- ticipating.

Highlights of the ASNE sympo- sium program to date include: • Successful Applications of Com- posites in the Marine Environment • Marine Composite Design Is- sues, Concepts and Case Studies • Marine Composite Research De- velopments • Materials and Manufacturing

Technology for Marine Composites, and; • Marine Composites Inspection,

Testing and Standards
