Middle or waist deck: The upper deck amidships, the working area of the deck. Orlop deck: The deck or part of a deck where the cables are stowed, usually below the waterline. It is the lowest deck in a ship. [6] Poop deck: The deck forming the roof of a poop or poop cabin, built on the upper deck and extending from the mizzenmast aft.
18th century warship cross section, the orlop deck highlighted in red The orlop of the Swedish 17th century warship Vasa looking toward the bow. The orlop is the lowest deck in a ship (except for very old ships), immediately above the hold. It is the deck or part of a deck where the cables are stowed, usually below the water line. [1]
Below: a lower deck of the ship. [1] Belowdecks: inside or into a ship, or down to a lower deck. [12] Bilge: the underwater part of a ship between the flat of the bottom and the vertical topsides [13] Bottom: the lowest part of the ship's hull. Bow: front of a ship (opposite of "stern") [1]
A hull is the watertight body of a ship, boat, submarine, or flying boat. The hull may open at the top (such as a dinghy), or it may be fully or partially covered with a deck. Atop the deck may be a deckhouse and other superstructures, such as a funnel, derrick, or mast. The line where the hull meets the water surface is called the waterline.
A high deck on the aft superstructure of a ship. The deck forms a roof over the "poop cabin" in the aft of the ship. [26] pooped 1. (of a ship or boat) to have a wave break over the stern when travelling with a following sea. [27] This contingency, that can cause significant damage to the ship, is also referred to as "pooping".

Single hull, Double bottom, and Double hull ship cross sections. Green lines are watertight; black structure is not watertight. A double hull is a ship hull design and construction method where the bottom and sides of the ship have two complete layers of watertight hull surface: one outer layer forming the normal hull of the ship, and a second inner hull which is some distance inboard ...
The secondary hull loads, bending, and strength are those loads that happen to the skin structure of the ship (sides, bottom, deck) between major lengthwise subdivisions or bulkheads. For these loads, we are interested in how this shorter section behaves as an integrated beam, under the local forces of displaced water pushing back on the hull ...
In modern ship construction it refers to the longitudinal run of plating covering the hull, deck and bulkhead structure. Certain specific strakes are uniquely identified: Keel: is a special strake of the Bottom plating extending from the centerplane outboard. Bottom: the Bottom Shell plate strakes extend from the Keel to the Bilge.
