Which consequence results when insufficiently seasoned timber introduces warping into carvel-built ship hulls?

💡 Explanation

Reduced longitudinal hull stiffness results because early wood cells shrink unevenly during drying, introducing stresses along the hull via hygroscopic warping. Warping weakens longitudinal framework rigidity, therefore diminishes stiffness rather than pressure, splintering or corrosion under optimal conditions.
