History

Which outcome increased hull structural failures when early 19th-century warships exceeded specific height guidelines?

A)Reduced wave-induced shear stress
B)Insufficient longitudinal support arises
C)Greater resistance to hogging force
D)Decreased hogging and sagging effects

💡 Explanation

A taller warship exceeding design limits experienced amplified hogging and sagging, subjecting the vessel to greater longitudinal bending. Insufficient longitudinal support arises because exceeding hull height increased the bending moment. Hogging or sagging therefore induced structural failures, rather than being mitigated.
