🔍 Key Concepts

• Right-handed single-screw propeller behavior when going astern (transverse thrust / prop walk) • Effect of hard-over rudder while the vessel still has headway through the water • What changes as the ship shifts from headway to sternway after engines are put full astern

💭 Think About

• First, imagine the vessel still moving ahead with hard left rudder but engines just ordered full astern – which way does the bow initially want to go while there is still headway? • Then, think about what happens after the vessel loses most of that headway and begins to gather sternway with a right-handed propeller going astern – which way does the stern, and therefore the bow, tend to move? • Combine those two stages: initial effect with headway + later effect with sternway. How would the bow’s motion change over time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which way a right-handed propeller tends to move the stern when backing (and therefore which way the bow moves). • Separate in your mind the initial period with headway (rudder still effective) from the later period with sternway (transverse thrust dominates). • Check each answer choice against a realistic sequence of events over time, not just a single instant right after the engine order.
