Which consequence directly results when a longship's keel experiences hogging?

💡 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.
