Basic Ship Theory
1. Fill in the blanks. (15 Marks)
1။ The naval architect is effected not only by changes in technology but also by in ………...
(society itself )
2။ The performance of the ship is dictated by the needs of ………... (trade or war )
3။ The ……….. is a plane perpendicular to the middle line plane, chosen as a plane of reference at
or near the horizontal: it may or not be parallel to the keel. (design waterplane )
4။ The sheer, the body plan and the half breadth collectively are called the ……….. . (lines plan or
sheer drawing )
5။ A reference point at the fore end of ship is provided by the intersection of the load waterline and
the stem contour and the line perpendicular to the LWP through this point is called the ……….. .
(fore perpendicular (FP) )
6။ Angular disturbance from the mean course of a ship in the horizontal plane is called ……….. .
(yaw or drift )
7။ The value for salt water is ……….. or 99.5 m3 /MN. (0.975 m3 /tonne )
8။ The watertight volume of a ship above the water line is called the ……….. . (reverse of
buoyancy )
9။ If a flotation body is very stable it will return quickly to the upright and may engender motion
sickness; if it is just stable a disturbance which is not small may cause it to ……….. . (capsize )
10။ For stability purposes, it is usual to ignore hydrodynamic forces except for high-speed craft,
including ……….. . (hydrofoils )
11။ One method of automatically allowing for the effects of trim is to use a scale model of the ship,
applying to it known heeling moments and noting the resulting ……….. . (angles of heel )
12။ In the case of ……….. , the degree of instability is no great embarrassment. (submarine )
13။ The ……….. should not be pierced by more than one pipe below the margin line. (collision
bulkhead )
14။ The ……….. at any point in the length of a ship is the length, with that point as centre which can
be flooded without immersing any part of the margin line when the ship has no list. (floodable
length )
15။ The ……….. at any position of the ship's length is that force which tends to move one part of the
ship vertically relative to the adjacent portion. (shearing force )

2. State True or False. (7.5 Marks)


16။ Ships are designed to meet the requirement of owners or of war and their features are dictated by
the requirements. ( T )
17။ Planes perpendicular to both the middle line plane and the design waterplane are called
longitudinal planes. ( F )
18။ The after perpendicular (AP) is frequently taken through the axis of the rudder stock or the
intersection of the LWL and transom profile. ( T )
19။ The moulded draught is the perpendicular distance in a transverse plane from the top of the flat
keel to the underside of deck plating at the ship’s side. ( F )
20။ Sheer is the tendency of a deck to rise above the vertical in profile. ( F )
21။ Angular bodily movement from the vertical in a transverse plane is called heel. ( T )
22။ The block coefficient, Cb, is the ratio of the volume of displacement to the volume of a
rectangular block whose sides are equal to the breadth extreme, the mean draught and the length
between perpendiculars. ( T )
23။ It is presented either in laminar form when intermediate values are interpolated or as a set of
curves, which are called hydrostatic curves. ( F )
24။ For equilibrium, the buoyancy force and weight must be equal and the two forces must act along
the same straight line. ( T )
25။ Stability is necessary to investigate whether a tank of liquid in the ship affects the ship's damage
stability. ( F )
26။ If length is decreased at the expense of beam, there will be a reduction in stability over the full
range. ( F )
27။ Reduction in depth leads to greater angel of deck immersion but reduces stability at large angles.
(F)
28။ If the ship is to operate in very cold climates, allowance will have to be made for the weight due
to ice forming on the hull and superstructure. ( T )
29။ Nuclear reactor must be protected from damage by longitudinal bulkheads between it and the
ship's side. ( T )
30။ The product of the floodable length and the factor of subdivision gives the permissible length.
(T)
