🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic ship construction terminology related to hull plating • Location and function of strakes on a ship’s bottom and sides • Relationship of the keel to the first rows of shell plating

💭 Think About

• Think about what a strake is in ship construction—does it refer to a plate, a pattern, or a fitting? • Which part of the ship would be most directly associated with the keel and the shell plating along the bottom? • Look at each choice and ask: is this describing a type of plating, a construction method, or a separate structural piece?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that a strake is a continuous row of shell plating running fore-and-aft • Confirm where the garboard would logically be located relative to the keel (centerline of the bottom) • Eliminate any choices that describe a pattern, strap, or flange rather than a row of plating
