For naval ships, some operations have critical importance. For example, landing a helicopter is one of the major parts of military action and undesirable roll motion make difficult this operation. Also, the crew can show inadequate performance because of roll motion effect. So, determining of the most effective stabilizing device for naval ships is crucial related to reducing of roll motion fastly. This study evaluates the relationship between criteria and alternatives in order to select most effective roll stabilizer system for naval ships based on expert opinions. Fuzzy VIKOR was used to list the alternatives. As a result of the obtained values, the most effective roll stabilizer device has been chosen for the naval ships.
