Which operational problem emerged in 18th-century warships when broadside cannons were fired simultaneously?

💡 Explanation

When broadside cannons fired simultaneously, concentrated stress occurred because the shockwaves combined, placing immense strain on the hull planks that were not optimally reinforced, leading to potential deformation. Therefore, hull deformation results, rather than rudder jamming, sail tearing, or mast collapse which have different mechanical pathways.
