Shipbuilders try to list all the situations that will be met by their ships. Then naval structures are sized in accordance to. Thus fabrication can create some defects and a naval metallic or organic structure without any defects is just a dream.
Non destructive tests are then carried out all along the life of the ship.
This technical domain uses very different physical principles, with higher and higher complexity. This long run is necessary to answer to the needs of the builders for new materials or assembly and the owners for cost reducing or increased servicing.
