Abstract: The integrity of the ship depends on accurate assembly of the scuttle to the hull body. The workers face a great amount of difficulty in drilling the holes for mounting the scuttle on the hull body of the ship mostly due the lengthy and complicated procedure involved. This work provides a simplified procedure for drilling the holes and at the same time maintaining the accuracy of drilling. A special purpose drilling machine was designed, analyzed and fabricated to solve this issue
