Abstract :
This brief discussion will highlight the types of marine corrosion problems that are encountered in Naval service. Literally millions of parts are involved in the construction and use of Naval ships and all may be subject to the deleterious effects of seawater unless suitable precautions are taken. The important aspect of marine corrosion is to be aware of the limitations of materials and to understand the material/environment interactions in order to overcome such limitations.
