🔍 Key Concepts

• Transverse frames vs. cant frames in hull construction • Location and function of framing near the bow and stern • How structure supports overhangs or curvature in the shell plating

💭 Think About

• Think about where the normal, straight transverse frames no longer meet the shell at a right angle. In what part of the ship does this usually occur? • Which choice describes a situation where framing has to be angled (canted) rather than straight across the ship? • Ask yourself: is a cant frame mainly about tank structure, deck strength, or shaping/supporting the hull form at the ends?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where on the vessel cant frames are normally found (midship vs. ends). • Decide whether cant frames are associated with hull shell plating or deck beams/tank walls. • Check which option best matches an angled frame used to support curved or overhanging shell plating.
