Procurement of naval ships and equipment now involves adoption of more commercial practices and less use of traditional naval standards. Naval classification provides a structured audit process through design, construction and operation of naval vessels. The constraints of naval design and the absence of some commercial support processes bring different challenges that need to be understood if the benefits are to be fully realised.
