History

Which consequence results when timber warships lack sufficient 'hogging trusses' during construction?

A)Reduced resistance to biofouling
B)Increased likelihood of hull shearing
C)Elevated center of gravity
D)Decreased speed in calm waters

💡 Explanation

Insufficient trusses induce structural weakness, causing hull shearing stress because hogging and sagging forces bend the ship. Therefore, the hull is likelier to break midships, rather than maintaining structural integrity under wave action or static pressure.
