  We proposed a GAN-based method to generate a ship hull form. Unlike
mathematical hull forms that require geometrical parameters to generate ship
hull forms, the proposed method requires desirable ship performance parameters,
i.e., the drag coefficient and tonnage. The requirements of ship owners are
generally focused on the ship performance and not the geometry itself. Hence,
the proposed model is useful for obtaining the ship hull form based on an
owner's requirements. The GAN model was trained using a ship hull form dataset
generated using the generalized Wigley hull form. The proposed method was
evaluated through numerical experiments and successfully generated ship data
with small errors.
