Q

What is the name given to the strake on each side of the keel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic hull terminology, especially keel and strakes • Location and typical names of longitudinal hull plates (sheer, bilge, and the one next to the keel) • Distinguishing between real shipbuilding terms and distractor terms that are not standard hull nomenclature

💭 Think About

• Which part of the hull is the keel, and where would a strake "on each side of the keel" be located relative to the centerline? • Which of these options is actually used in ship construction to describe a plating strake near the bottom versus near the deck edge? • Are any of the answer choices clearly not standard structural terms used in basic naval architecture textbooks or seamanship manuals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you can define keel and visualize the bottom centerline of the ship • Identify which terms you have definitely seen in diagrams of hull plating (especially bottom vs. deck edge) • Eliminate any terms that are not recognized as standard hull structure names in basic seamanship/hull construction references
