← HistoryWhich consequence results when green wood warps within a carvel-built ship hull?
A)Increased hull hydrodynamic drag penalty
B)Substantial drop in sailing speed
C)Compromised hull watertight integrity✓
D)Major shifting in ballast distribution

Hull integrity is vulnerable as wood warps because wood shrinkage causes gaps via loss of contact pressure, therefore, leaks form endangering the vessel, rather than speed reduction, which is a secondary effect.
