2. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

   Definitions. Beam – A measure of the width of the ship. There are two types: Beam, Overall (BOA), commonly referred to simply as Beam – The overall width of the ship measured at the widest point of the nominal waterline. Beam on Centerline (BOC) – Used for multihull vessels. The BOC for vessels is measured as follows: For a catamaran: the ...

3. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

   Beam (nautical) Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the ...

4. Waterline length - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterline_length

   Detailed hull dimensions. A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [ 1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline ). The LWL will be shorter than the length of the boat overall ( length overall or LOA) as most boats have bows and stern protrusions that make the LOA greater than the LWL.

   TROIKA PLUS: This system employs up to four remote controlled Seehund (sea dog or seal) drones which perform the sweep. The drones are small unmanned boats that can simulate the acoustic and magnetic signatures of bigger ships to trigger mines. Their small size and special construction let them survive the effects of exploding mines unharmed.

   Draft (hull) Graphical representation of the waterline of a ship (blue line), absent a lower projecting keel or propeller, with the draft (lower image) indicated as dimension d ; for other dimensions used to describe a ship, see also ship measurements. Draft markings on the stern of the Cutty Sark, an example of the Imperial system of such ...
