Q

When using the term "limber system" one is referring to which system?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Limber holes in ship construction • Purpose of spaces at the bottom of frames/longitudinals • How water and debris are managed in the bilge area

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Where on a vessel would a 'limber system' be found—up high in the superstructure, or down low near the bilges and bottom framing? • Think about what limber holes or limber passes physically allow to move from one compartment or frame space to another. • Which of the listed systems would need small openings along the bottom of frames or floors to do its job?

✅ Before You Answer

• Visualize the bilge area and what needs to move along the bottom of the ship there. • Recall that limber holes are cut in floors/frames near the bottom—what flows through them? • Eliminate any option that would not logically use small openings at the bottom of structural members as part of its function.
