70% to pass

When the longitudinal strength members of a vessel are continuous and closely spaced, the vessel is _______________.

A transversely framed
B longitudinally framed
C web framed
D intermittently framed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) longitudinally framed. When the longitudinal strength members of a vessel, such as the stringers and girders, are continuous and closely spaced, the vessel is considered to be longitudinally framed. This means that the primary structural elements that provide strength and rigidity to the hull run in the longitudinal (fore-and-aft) direction, rather than the transverse (side-to-side) direction. The other options are incorrect because: A) Transversely framed vessels have the primary structural elements running in the transverse direction. C) Web framed vessels have a combination of longitudinal and transverse framing. D) Intermittently framed vessels have discontinuous longitudinal strength members.
