← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when 18th-century warships exceeded design displacement?
A)Reduced maneuverability and increased draft✓
B)Increased topside weight improves sailing
C)Improved roll stability decreases capsize
D)Shallower drafts eased harbor navigation
💡 Explanation
Reduced maneuverability occurred because exceeding design displacement increased the vessel's underwater volume causing increased drag and a deeper draft; therefore, ships handled sluggishly and risked grounding, rather than capsizing was avoided without careful loading.
