_______________1. These are the part of the boat that is built up above the deck and are now commonly made with
aluminum alloys.
_______________2. It supports the tail shaft of the rudder and the propeller. In old ships, the frame used to be welded
to the hull.
_______________3. In ship construction, this is typically used in regions of the ship that are under high levels of
mechanical stress, as well as the deck and bottom regions of larger tankers.
_______________4. These refer to the bolt/pin that attaches the rudder to the ship.
_______________5. It is perfect for the harsh environmental conditions that steel is subjected to like the harsh sunlight
and saltwater.
_______________6. These doors are typically made of cast steel and prevent water from entering the ship.
_______________7. This is used with frequently in the shipbuilding industry due to its ideal mechanical properties,
structural integrity and low cost.
_______________8. These are usually constructed by a copper alloy, like brass, to withstand the corrosive effects of
saltwater.
_______________9. Primarily, a ship built with this metal type versus steel will be 60% lighter on average.
_______________10. This is typically made of steel and creates a water-tight barrier on the bottom and sides of the ship
during hull construction.
_______________11. These are used to connect the stem to the flat plate keel.
_______________12. The butts and seams are joined by butt welds, which gives a flush surface to the plating and also
saves some weight.

_______________13. Flat bars, bulb bars, or inverted angles may be used for these.

_______________14. These are used to connect stern frames to the flat plate keel.

_______________15. This is only a modification of the combination system, but is included here because of its special
features.

_______________16. These are shield-shaped plates fitted over the boss of the stern frame.

_______________17. These triangular-shaped iron brackets are welded where the two frames meet and are attached to
the margin plates to resist excessive bending stress.

_______________18. The outboard strake of deck plating, which is connected to the sheer strake.

_______________19. These are heavy plate frames, which are not normally used as a system, but are fitted in certain
parts of a ship to give local strength.

_______________20. These are intended to resist rolling.

_______________21. A wide strip of longitudinal plating parallel to the keel plating of uniform thickness at the parallel
middle body region but tapering towards the ends of the vessel.

_______________22. The principal structural member of a ship, running lengthwise along the center line from bow to
stern, to which the frames are attached.

_______________23. The modern systems are Joggled Plating and Joggled Framing, both of which are light and efficient

_______________24. Its size is governed by their unsupported span; the breadth of the ship; and, in some cases by the
load which the deck has to carry.

_______________25. The strakes of shell plating next to the keel on either side.

_______________26. This was introduced to overcome the disadvantages of the longitudinal system for dry cargo ships.

_______________27. These are used to connect beams to frames.

_______________28. The upper strakes of shell plating on either side, next to the upper deck.

_______________29. These are now required under the strength deck in all ships of over 120 meters long.

_______________30. These are joints along the longer edges of the plates' which run fore and aft; that is, along the
longer edges of the plates.
