In ship construction, the shell plating is arranged in strakes and assigned letter designations. If the strakes were lettered "A" through "K", the "K" strake will be __________.
• Shell plating strakes naming convention from keel upward • Location and function of the keel strake, bilge strake, and sheer strake • How letters typically progress from bottom to top on the ship’s side
• Think about where the first lettered strake (A) would logically be placed and how the lettering would move from there • Compare which parts of the hull are lowest and which are highest: keel, bilge, side, and sheer • Match each answer choice with whether it would be among the first, middle, or last letters in an alphabetical sequence from bottom to top
• Identify which strake is closest to the keel and which is closest to the weather deck (sheer) • Confirm whether the letter sequence runs from bottom to top or top to bottom on the shell plating • Make sure you know the exact position of the sheer strake and turn of the bilge on a hull cross-section before picking an answer
