← HistoryWhich consequence directly results when a longship's keel experiences hogging?
A)Reduced hull structural integrity✓
B)Decreased sailcloth thread count
C)Increased oar-stroke synchronization
D)Improved ballast stone distribution
💡 Explanation
Reduced hull structural integrity occurs because sagging/hogging introduces longitudinal bending stress. The hull experiences tension/compression, a stress distribution mechanism that weakens rivet joints and wood, therefore integrity decreases, rather than improving sail performance or rowing.
