Millitary Standard for Small Water Craft, Navy, Marines

In summary, the conversation is about finding structural design standards for mounting components on small Naval and Marine watercraft. The speaker mentions being able to find standards for larger ships, but not for small boats. They then share a link to a website that may have helpful information. The other person thanks them and mentions that it may take some time to sift through all the results.

I curious if anyone out there knows what structural design standards are used when mounting components onto small Naval and Marine (Zodiac) style watercraft. I can find all kinds of loads and vibration criteria for large ships like Mil-std-810 and Mil-std-167 but all of them specify not to use their criteria for small boat design. Any help would be much appreciated.
