To assess water diffusion and degradation of Unmanned Surface Vehicle by Hydrothermal effect, the specimens were exposed to a variety of thermal and time conditions. Furthermore, after immersing the specimens in seawater and distilled water for 72 weeks, the amount of water uptake was tested by gravimetric analysis and the results followed Fick law. Degradation of ILSS was measured from SBS test of specimens exposed to hydrothermal conditions. As a result, correlation of water diffusion and degradation of ILSS was validated and the feature in seawater involving saline was evaluated.
