← HistoryWhich consequence arose during early ironclad ship construction because of armor plating limitations?
A)Increased ship buoyancy requirements
B)Reduced hull frame torsional stressing
C)Elevated the vessel's center of gravity✓
D)Strengthened the keel against hogging
💡 Explanation
Elevated center of gravity occurred because heavy armor, concentrated high on the ship, exceeded original design limits; therefore, stability decreased rather than improving buoyancy due to increased weight throughout the vessel affecting its ability to recover from rolling motion.
