🔍 Key Concepts

• Shell plating terminology used in ship construction (strake, stealer, lap, etc.) • How designers reduce the number of strakes toward the bow or stern • Difference between a plate that fills in a gap versus one that merely covers a seam

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when two strakes are tapered so they end before reaching the bow. What kind of plate is needed to continue the shell plating to the stem? • Which term is commonly used when a plate is added to take the place of, or "steal" space from, another plate so the number of strakes is reduced? • Which of these choices are more likely names for a general joining/covering piece, and which are specific to shell plating layout at the ends of a vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which term in ship construction refers specifically to a plate that replaces or takes the place of another strake to reduce strake count. • Eliminate terms that are mostly used for interior outfitting rather than hull plating. • Make sure the option you pick is associated with shell plating at the ends of the ship (bow or stern), not just any lap or joint.
