🔍 Key Concepts

• Watertight doors on ships and where they are commonly found (e.g., bulkheads, engine room access) • The specific name for the small securing devices that pull a door tight against its gasket to maintain watertight integrity • Difference between general terms for closing hardware (like household doors) and specialized marine terminology

💭 Think About

• Think about what each choice (clasps, latches, dogs, clamps) usually refers to in everyday use, and which one you most often hear in connection with watertight or airtight closures on ships. • Picture a typical metal watertight door with a wheel or multiple small handles around the edges—what are those individual securing pieces called? • Ask yourself which term is most likely to appear in shipboard damage control or watertight integrity procedures.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which term is used in marine safety manuals and damage control training to describe the mechanisms that secure watertight doors and hatches. • Check which option is specifically associated with watertight or airtight closures, not just general household doors. • Confirm that the term you pick is commonly used in shipboard vocabulary, especially around compartments below the main deck.
