🔍 Key Concepts

• Turning circle components: advance, transfer, tactical diameter, steady‑turning diameter • Difference between advance/transfer and lateral drift/slide • What happens to a ship’s bow and hull immediately after the helm is put hard over

💭 Think About

• When the helm is put hard over from a steady course, what is the very first noticeable motion of the ship’s head before the full turning circle develops? • Which options describe measured distances along the turning circle, and which describe a brief, initial sideways or sliding motion? • Think about how the ship’s stern and bow move relative to the original course line when starting a hard‑over turn—what special term do mariners use for that action?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe continuous, measurable distances during the turn (like advance and transfer). • Identify which choice refers to a short‑term, sideways effect that occurs as the turn is initiated, not the whole circle. • Make sure the option you select clearly distinguishes between motion along the original course line and motion sideways from it.
