      abstract = {Before designing a ship, the requirements for the ship are  required. For innovative or complex technical ships, this  is not instantly clear. In many cases, the expected  operations of the ship need to be investigated first.  Currently, this is often done on a ship-by-ship basis.  However, a ship seldom operates alone, especially for  technically complex ships. The ship will often be part of a  fleet executing e.g. complex operations such as windmill  installation or complex missions in case of navy ships. It  is therefore important to investigate the role of the ship  in this fleet and establish the contributions to the  expected missions or tasks. Of course, the fleet will  change over time and each stepwise change of the fleet  could be investigated independently but should be  investigated in cohesion. To enable this, an approach and  validation model was developed within the DES4Ops project  over the past two years. This paper will discuss the  development of an optimal fleet design model to support  decision making and requirement elucidation. The impact of  existing ships on the choice for a new ship (brownfield  development) and of a complete fleet redesign (greenfield  development) are supported. A simple example case for an  arbitrary set of navy missions will be discussed to  highlight the potential of this approach. In the end, we  conclude that the model allows the user to check the  performance of a fleet in different scenario’s, but  more importantly, it will lead to fleet considerations that  lead to better performances overall and over time.},
