Design of impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP)-anode locations to minimize underwater electric field is important to increase the survivability of naval ships. However, the evaluation of all ICCP-anode location scenarios is time-consuming process even though it is conducted by numerical simulation, especially boundary element method (BEM). To solve this problem, the randomly selected cases of ICCP-anode location in 3, 4 and 5-pair, which were produced by the beta distribution model, were simulated using BEM simulations. Then, the optimized ICCP-anode location scenario from the cases was verified by statistical methods (multiple linear regression and artificial neural network). Predictions of ICCP-anode location and underwater electric field were more correlated with the artificial neural network than the multiple linear regression analysis. Also, the selected ICCP-anode locations were verified by the artificial neural network considering data interactions. Thus, the application of an artificial neural network can be more useful for designing ICCP-anode location that minimizes underwater electric fields.
