History

Which consequence results when mortise-and-tenon ship joints experience prolonged submersion?

A)Increased structural hull rigidity
B)Accelerated anaerobic enzymatic decay
C)Reduced planking frictional resistance
D)Enhanced cathodic electrochemical protection

💡 Explanation

Anaerobic decay accelerates when organic matter is submerged, therefore wood fibers degrade because of enzymatic action rather than remaining stable in an oxygenated environment, thereby weakening the ship's structure.
