70% to pass

Lighter longitudinal stiffening frames on the vessel's side plating are called _______________.

A intercostals
B stringers
C side frames
D side stiffeners
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) stringers. Stringers are the lighter longitudinal stiffening frames that run along the side plating of a vessel. They provide additional support and rigidity to the side structure. Stringers are distinct from the heavier transverse side frames, which run perpendicular to the stringers. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) Intercostals refer to transverse structural members, not longitudinal. C) Side frames are the heavier transverse members, not the lighter longitudinal stringers. D) Side stiffeners is not a standard term used to describe this vessel component.
