In the paper were presented examples of use of some intelligence tools such as a neural network, expertsystem and relational database to ship design. The neural network of back-propagation of errors wasapplied to select required power of ship main propulsion system on the basis of ship main parameters.Results obtained by using the network were compared with resulting values for similar ships found inAccess database application. To aid design of the main propulsion system and ship power plant automationfuzzy logic was applied as an element of Case Based Reasoning (CBR) method in Exsys expert system aswell as a few methods for selection of similar ships, elaborated by the authors
