Abstract
Historically, weight and KG (height if vertical center of gravity above the keel) margins have been an essential element of any ship weight control program. Margins are not only considered an engineering tool for making technical predictions, but are generally embodied in the fiscal process as well. In many instances, the non-engineering acquisition community has often identified margin reduction as a legitimate weight eliminating margins from the weight estimate. The end result should improve the overall accuracy of the weight estimates.
