SHIP/AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS

NAVEDTRA 14325-Lengthwise direction on a ship is fore and aft

-Front of the ship is the bow-The rearmost is the stern-Everything to your right is starboard -Everything to your left is port

NAVEDTRA 14325You never go downstairs in a ship; you always go below. To go up is to go topside. However, if you climb the mast, stacks, rigging, or any other area above the highest solid structure, you go aloft. The bridge is topside and usually forward. It contains control and visual communication stations. Human beings live in a ship or on board a ship. Inanimate objects, stores, and equipment are aboard a ship. Similarly, you board a ship or go on board. Stores, ammunition, and so on are taken aboard and struck below.

NAVEDTRA 14325• The hull is the supporting body of a ship.

• The keel is the backbone of the ship.• The interior of a ship is divided into compartments by vertical walls, called bulkheads.

• A ship rolls from side to side; it pitches when it goes up and down fore and aft; it yaws when the bow swings to port and starboard because of wave action.

NAVEDTRA 14325

• Forecastle (pronounced folk’ sel) deck. The forecastle deck is the deck above the main deck at the bow.

• Poop deck. The poop deck is a partial deck above the main deck located all the way aft.

• Quarterdeck. The quarterdeck is not an actual deck, but an area designated by the CO for the conduct of official functions.

NAVEDTRA 14325

Doors & Hatches

Doors:

- provide access through bulkheads.

-Can be watertight or non-watertight

-are held closed by “dogs”

Hatches:

NAVEDTRA 14325

Superstructure

-The solid part of a ship above the main deck

-The bridge, from which the ship is controlled while under way, is located in the

superstructure

NAVEDTRA 14325

COMPARTMENT DESIGNATION/DECK NUMBERING SYSTEM

NAVEDTRA 14325• Ship’s compartment designations consist of a deck number, a frame number, the relationship of the compartment to the centerline, and a letter showing the use of the space. Where a compartment extends through two or more decks, the number of the lower deck is used.

• Compartments located on the centerline carry the number 0. Compartments to starboard are given odd numbers, and compartments to port are given even numbers.

• (DDs) and guided-missiles destroyers (DDGs) are multipurpose ships that are useful in almost any kind of naval operation.

• The mission of nuclear attack submarines (SSNs) is to locate and destroy enemy ships and submarines

• Fleet ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) deliver ballistic missile attacks against assigned targets from either a submerged or surfaced condition.
