The deepest draft of any ship was the Batillus Class ULCC (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) Tankers. There were four of these ships built, which had fully loaded drafts of 28.5 meters or 93.5 feet. All have now been scrapped.
It is the deepest draft of a ship
To read the ship draft while waving on ship one needs the extra attention or else get injured or drop into the waters.
The draft of a boat determines minimum depth of water a ship can safely navigate. A shoal draft is a very shallow draft. In this case, shoal draft ballast is the sort of ballast that improves the stability of a shoal draft ship.
It depends on the draft of the shift. Draft is the amount of ship that is underwater. Some ships have very deep draft that prevents them from entering many harbors. New York has the deepest and widest harbor in the world and there are many ships that cannot enter due to their draft. To put that in perspective the controlling depth throughout the harbor is about 45 feet. I once served aboard a tanker with a draft of 82 feet!
A design draft is also known as a design draught. It is a complete drawing of the ship as it is expected to look when it is fully loaded.

It is the depth of the hull below the waterline.

Yes, the draft of a ship typically increases with an increase in speed. This is due to the increased hydrodynamic forces acting on the hull as the ship moves through the water, causing it to ride deeper in order to maintain stability.

It's called "draft". Draft is the distance from the waterline to the bottom of the ship.
The draft of a ship decreases when it passes from fresh water to salt water due to the difference in density between the two types of water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which means that a ship will experience greater buoyancy in salt water. As a result, the ship will sit higher in the water, reducing its draft. Essentially, the increased buoyant force in salt water allows the ship to displace less water, leading to a decrease in its draft.
