← HistoryWhich 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.
