Hey, you might be able to answer this: if someone who wants to learn naval architecture deeply (but not for a career), how should they go about it? I'd love to design ships as a career, but as you said, there isn't much work, but why not learn for the sake of learning? Also, aeronautical engineers, I'd love to learn that too. How to go about it?

If you can afford it, go ahead! At least aeronautical engineering is a solid (and not easy) full time degree program. Embry-Riddle is one well known school, and they may be doing online classes/have some coverage.

  Thank you. Online might be doable.

It depends on what you mean by "deeply" and how you wish to go about it. If you want to try and pick it up on your own, start with the book "Introduction to Naval Architecture" by Thomas Gillmer and Bruce Johnson, from the US Naval Institute. From there, if you're still interested, probably "Applied Naval Architecture" by Robert Zubaly or something from SNAME (Society for Naval Architects and Marine Engineers). If you want to go to school and you don't want to get a degree in it, you can study something similar; but, related. (I majored in Ocean Engineering, which included a number of naval architecture courses.)

  Thank you. :) I am putting those books on my shopping list.

There is a cool program at Memorial University, Newfoundland. https://www.mun.ca/undergrad/programs/engineering/ocean--naval-architectural-engineering/ https://www.mun.ca/undergrad/programs/engineering/ocean--nav...
