← HistoryWhich limitation increased in early warships when thicker hull timbers offered improved structural integrity?
A)Reduced cargo loading capacity
B)Induced undesired magnetic interference
C)Diminished fresh water carrying capacity
D)Increased vessel draft requirements✓
💡 Explanation
Increased vessel draft occurred in response to thicker timbers adding weight, because displacement grew due to Archimedes' principle. Therefore, ships needed deeper water to stay afloat, rather than the other limitations that are independent of the construction.
