History

Which consequence occurred when builders increased a warship's hull height without widening its base?

A)Compromised transverse strength integrity
B)Improved ability to point windward
C)Increased magazine explosion danger
D)Decreased rate of marine borer damage

💡 Explanation

Adding height without width in wooden warships reduced stability because the metacentric height increased, creating overturning; therefore strength fails rather than stability improvement, because strength of the hull joint declines.
