Choose a warship class and examine its shape, equipment, and visible design decisions. Set those features beside the public statements made about the programme. The comparison can reveal where official language matches the engineering and where it appears to rationalise a choice already made. The ship's physical form may also reveal what its designers expected it to do. Repeating that exercise is a practical starting point for analysing a warship design.
