🔍 Key Concepts

• Air draft vs. air gap – know the difference between distance above the water and distance below the hull • How "air" terms are usually measured in relation to the water surface in seamanship and stability problems • Typical exam wording for distances: keel to water surface, water surface to bridge, etc.

💭 Think About

• In this question, is the measurement being taken upward from the bottom of the hull or downward from the water surface? Visualize a cross‑section of the ship in the water. • Ask yourself: when we talk about "air" in naval architecture (air draft, air gap), are we usually concerned with clearances above the water or below the hull? • Which choice describes a simple, direct vertical distance that could realistically be measured between the hull and something else?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can define air draft (from waterline to highest point of the vessel) and keep it distinct from air gap. • Check which options add extra elements like charted depth, tidal corrections, storm surge – are those normally used when defining distances from the hull bottom? • Confirm that the option you pick describes only the vertical distance between two physical points in the simplest possible way.
