History

Which outcome arises when copper sheathing detaches from a wooden warship?

A)Increased biofouling drag and reduced speed
B)Improved hull strength, mitigating hogging
C)Decreased galvanic corrosion, prolonging lifespan
D)Enhanced hydrostatic stability and ballast loading

💡 Explanation

Increased biofouling and drag happens because of the electrolytic corrosion exposing the wood, which then allows marine organisms to attach which act as boundary layer tripping therefore increasing the water resistance, rather than structural improvements or decreased corrosion.
