Study Notes
Ship Structure
- Keel: the spine of the ship, running from bow to stern
- Frames: ribs of the ship, fastened to the keel and numbered starting at the bow
- Longitudinal Frame: runs from bow to stern, parallel to the keel
- Plating: the outer, deck, and inner bottom skin of the ship
Ship Dimensions
- Length Overall (LOA): the total length of the ship from bow to stern
- Length at the Waterline (LWL): the length of the ship under the water
- Waterline: where the hull meets the surface of the water
- Freeboard: the amount of hull visible from the waterline to the main deck, measured in feet
Ship Components
- Mast: mounting point for radar and telecommunication equipment
- Rudder: the primary means of steering a ship
- Propeller: also known as a screw
Ship Decks
- Main Deck: the uppermost sheltered deck, running the entire length of the vessel, also known as the 1st Deck
- Weatherdeck: any portion of the main deck and level(s) that is outside
- Lifelines: lines erected around the edges of the main and weatherdecks for safety purposes
Ship Sections
- Forecastle: the part of the main deck forward of the mast
- Fantail: the part of the main deck aft, often where the flightdeck is located
