Q

The terms "cant frame" and "counter" are associated with which part of the vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ship construction terminology and where different structural members are located • Meaning and location of cant frames on a ship • What part of the ship is described by the counter in traditional hull forms

💭 Think About

• Think about whether cant frames are aligned with the ship’s main frames amidships, or if they are angled differently near a particular end of the vessel. • Ask yourself where older ship-design terms like “counter” are usually used: near the bow, midships, or the overhanging part of the stern above the waterline? • Consider which of the four answer choices is most often associated with special frame shapes and curvature in the shell plating.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify where cant frames are installed: are they at the ends of the ship and set at an angle to the centerline? • Recall that the counter refers to a specific overhanging portion of the hull at one end of the ship—identify which end that is. • Eliminate options that relate to equipment (like machinery and hatches) rather than permanent hull structure.
