Question 1958 Deck Safety

70% to pass

What term indicates the immersed body of the vessel aft of the parallel mid-body?

A Counter
B Stern
C Run
D Flow
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Run. The "run" refers to the immersed portion of the vessel's hull aft of the parallel mid-body. This is the tapering section of the hull towards the stern, where the shape transitions from the relatively straight mid-body to the curved shape of the stern. The other options are incorrect because: A) Counter refers to the curved, overhanging part of the stern above the waterline. B) Stern refers to the entire aft end of the vessel, not just the immersed portion. D) Flow refers to the movement of water around the hull, not a specific part of the hull.
