🔍 Key Concepts

• Shell plating orientation on a typical steel-hulled vessel (how strakes usually run relative to bow–stern and keel–gunwales) • The standard terminology for welds between plates: seam welds vs butt welds • How the direction of the weld (horizontal vs vertical) relates to the long edge or short edge of a plate

💭 Think About

• First, picture a side view of a ship’s hull and imagine how the long strips of shell plating are normally laid out from bow to stern or from keel to gunwale. • Then, think about what the words seam and butt usually mean in general fabrication: does a seam run along the length of something or across it? • Match the typical orientation of strakes with the common meaning of seam and butt welds to see which option correctly pairs: (1) plate direction, and (2) what horizontal and vertical welds are called.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are clear whether strakes on most ships are mainly fore‑and‑aft or up‑and‑down pieces. • Verify which term, seam or butt, is used for welds along the long edges of adjoining strakes, and which is used for welds across their ends. • Check that the choice you pick has both parts correct: the direction of the plates AND the correct naming of horizontal vs vertical welds.
