The submarine's dimensions, structure, aesthetics, and equilibrium to guarantee adequate space, stability, manoeuvrability, and speed.
The submarine's capability to recover from flooding, manage system malfunctions, access naval facilities, and support infrastructure within physical limitations.
Designing the hull and bridge fin for optimal resistance reduction.
Assessing hydroplanes for manoeuvrability and speed effectiveness through testing methods, managing weight distribution and buoyancy for balanced stability, and conducting experiments to verify seaworthiness.
