← HistoryWhich limitation appears when a Viking longship experiences hogging?
A)Reduced seaworthiness in heavy seas✓
B)Decreased maneuverability in shallow water
C)Inability to conduct coastal raiding
D)Compromised sailing speed in estuaries
💡 Explanation
Hogging bends the longship's keel upwards amidships due to uneven wave support meaning the longitudinal bending moment exceeds material strength; therefore seaworthiness is reduced because the hull risks structural failure in severe wave states, rather than affecting other capabilities.
