🔍 Key Concepts

• Summer load line and what it represents on a ship • Difference between overall length and length measured between specific vertical reference points • Traditional ship-design terms: forward perpendicular and after perpendicular

💭 Think About

• Which answer choices refer to measurements taken specifically at the load line, not at the extreme ends of the hull? • Think about where the stem and rudder post are located and which standard length definition in naval architecture uses those two reference points. • Which of these terms is most often used in stability, trim, and hydrostatic calculations rather than just physical overall size?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match the definition: from the foreside of the stem to the aft side of the rudder post, both at the summer load line. • Eliminate any option that refers to the ship’s extreme overall ends regardless of the load line. • Confirm which term is commonly abbreviated in design data (like LBP or LPP) for hydrostatic and stability work.
