Q

What term indicates an inward curvature of the ship's hull above the waterline?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ship construction terminology related to hull shape above the waterline • Difference between outward vs inward curvature of the hull • Where camber and deadrise are measured on a vessel

💭 Think About

• Which term refers specifically to the hull side shape when viewed from ahead or astern, above the waterline? • Which option describes the opposite of an outward flare of the hull? • Which terms (camber, deadrise) are connected more with the deck or bottom rather than the side shell?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which term means outward curvature of the hull sides and then think of its opposite • Confirm that camber relates to the main deck shape, not the side shell curvature • Confirm that deadrise relates to the bottom of the hull, not the area above the waterline
