INTRODUCTION
Organic matrix composites have been used in naval shipbuilding for almost 50 years. Amagnetism, lightness and excellent behavior in marine environments are just some of the properties of these materials that have been used to replace more traditional technologies. In the article "Composite materials in naval shipbuilding", we described the main characteristics of these materials, as well as the sometimes highly specific manufacturing processes involved.
This article details the most significant applications, ranging from the construction of hulls weighing several hundred tonnes, to less impressive but equally high-tech appendages (sonar domes, rudders, propellers, etc.). Applications range from surface vessels to submarines. The main architectures are presented, along with the characteristics of the ships that benefit from them.
