Abstract :
Welcome to the fifth biennial Electric Ship Technology Symposium. For nearly a decade, the ESTS has served as a venue for communicating the latest advances in electric ship technologies amongst academia, industry, and navy partners. We do this through a combination of formal presentations, panel sessions, and informal interactions, all of which contribute to the success of this meeting. As with all meetings, it is what you make it to be, and so we invite your fullest participation and engagement in our technical exchanges.
