🔍 Key Concepts

• Emergency hull patching on small and medium vessels • The role of soft vs. rigid materials in damage control • How sealing surfaces work when stopping water entry

💭 Think About

• Think about whether pillows and bedding are better at providing rigid support or creating a watertight seal against an uneven surface. • Ask yourself which item in the choices is normally made of wood or steel, and which could realistically be made from soft, compressible material. • Consider how you would first use soft items against a hole and then what other items you might add to press them in place.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the four options is normally a compressible layer rather than a rigid support member. • Recall that strongbacks, wedges, and shores are usually solid structural pieces used to apply pressure or support. • Confirm which choice typically sits between the hull and the reinforcing members to improve the seal.
