History

Which consequence results when the sailing ship Mary Rose was turned sharply?

A)Rudder effectiveness dramatically increased
B)Increased hull stresses caused fracture
C)Ballast shifted causing list
D)Open gunports flooded causing capsize

💡 Explanation

Sudden maneuvers listed ships, pushing open gunports underwater; therefore, the inrush of water accelerated capsize because hydrostatic stability wasn't sufficient to recover, rather than the ship experiencing structural failure or other hydrodynamic effects that also could result.
