Ships are typically launched stern first to ensure stability and control during the launch process. This method allows the vessel's bow to remain above water longer, reducing the risk of damaging the hull or propellers as it enters the water. Additionally, launching stern first helps in minimizing the impact of water on the ship's structure, facilitating a smoother transition and better alignment with the launch ramp or slipway.
