Q

Which term indicates the rise in height of the bottom plating from the plane of the base line?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Base line in ship construction plans • Difference between bottom structure and deck structure terms • Meanings of sheer, camber, deadrise, and molded height in hull form

💭 Think About

• Think about which parts of the ship these terms usually describe: deck shape, bottom shape, or an overall vertical dimension? • Which term specifically refers to the shape or angle of the bottom plating relative to a flat reference line? • Ask yourself: is the change described happening at the deck edge, across the deck, or from the keel upward?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what the base line represents on a ship’s drawing (often near the keel/bottom). • Match each option to the part of the ship it normally describes: deck longitudinal curve, deck transverse curve, overall vertical measurement, or bottom inclination. • Eliminate any choices that are clearly associated with the deck rather than the bottom plating.
