🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse framing system vs. longitudinal framing system – which members run across the ship and which run along its length • Meaning of continuous vs. intercostal (cut between, fitted between) in ship framing • Which members are usually vertical and which are horizontal in hull construction

💭 Think About

• First decide: in a transverse framing system, are the main strength members running across the ship (athwartships) or along the length (fore‑and‑aft)? • Think about where the transverse frames are located on a ship’s side shell: do they look like “ribs” standing up vertically, or beams lying horizontally? • For each choice, ask: which parts are continuous (run the full length/height) and which are intercostal (fitted between)? Does that match what you know about a transverse system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definitions: transverse frame, longitudinal girder/stiffener, intercostal, and continuous • Check whether the option correctly identifies transverse frames as running athwartships and how they’re oriented (vertical vs. horizontal) on the side shell • Verify that in a true transverse framing system, the transverse members are the primary, more continuous structure, and the longitudinal members are secondary/intercostal, not the other way around
