520			_a This Handbook is designed for the nonspecialist engineer, scientist, or technician involved with designing equipment, systems, or structures for the ocean, or involved in their installation and operation. It brings together information that was scattered among many government reports, specialty journals, and manufacturers' catalogs, and unpublished or previously unrecorded information that was held by practitioners of ocean engineering. Emphasis has been placed on the pragmatic engineering application aspects of the subjects treated, leaving to the more specialized books and journals the development and treatment of the theoretical background. The handbook is divided into the following sections: basic oceanography; basic hydrodynamics; underwater fields and instrumentation; tools, rigging, and machinery; underwater cables; underwater power sources; materials and testing; fixed structures; vessels and floating platforms; diving; ocean operations; and wind and wave loads.
