← HistoryWhich consequence results when insufficient caulking exists within wooden hull planks?
A)Hull's structural hogging deformation✓
B)Accelerated galvanic corrosion
C)Reduced transverse metacentric height
D)Increased frictional drag coefficient
💡 Explanation
The hull experiences hogging deformation because water ingress accelerates wood rot, reducing frame integrity; therefore, the ship weakens, leading to bending stress rather than corrosion influences or changed hydrodynamic parameters. The root cause is water seeping in.
