Q

The term "strake" is used in reference to which item(s)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ship construction terminology for outer shell components • Difference between plating and framing • Examples like sheer strake, bilge strake, and garboard strake

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when you hear terms like sheer strake or bilge strake, what part of the ship are they describing? • Is a strake something you would see as a continuous line along the length of the ship, or as an internal support member? • Which option refers to something arranged in long, fore‑and‑aft rows along the side or bottom of the vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between structural frames (ribs) and plates or planks attached to them • Consider which option matches items that can be arranged in longitudinal rows along the hull • Eliminate choices that are fittings or equipment rather than part of the ship’s basic structure
