Clarke credits his father with developing computerized approaches to warship design. He says that work reached across the Royal Navy and other fleets rather than remaining tied to one class of ship. The same design lineage also touched supertankers, ultra-large bulk carriers, and major container ships over several decades. Naval architecture and commercial shipbuilding could share specialist computer-design expertise.
