What is the body of a ship is called?
The main body of a ship is called the hull. The hull runs from the main deck of the vessel all the way to the keel, which is at the center of the vessel where both sides of the hull join under the water. The part of the ship that is built above the hull is called the superstructure.
What is a hull for on a boat?
The hull of a craft is the lower most half, to which the cap is fastened. The hull makes provision for floatation, without which, the vessel would sink.

You are describing a hydrofoil.

Is the serface tension of the outside of the hull of a vessel equalized when a cavity within the hull of a vessel is filled with water?
This is not a good/valid question as the terms used in it are not compatible I.E. Surface tension has nothing to do with a cavity within the hull (filled or not with water)Perhaps the question was meant to be: Is the displacementof the hull increased when a cavity within the hull of a vessel is filled with water?To this, the answer is yes, as any weight added to the vessel, no matter where it is added (inside a cavity or not) will increase the displacement.The displacement of a vessel such as a ship is a measure of the amount of water that would normally be in the area that the ship now occupies. The weight of this displaced water would be equal to the total weight of the entire ship.
What is hull failure?
Hull failure refers to the structural failure of a vessel's hull, which can compromise its integrity and safety. This can occur due to various factors, including collisions, grounding, corrosion, or design flaws. When a hull fails, it can lead to water ingress, sinking, or loss of control, posing significant risks to the vessel and its occupants. Proper maintenance and regular inspections are crucial to prevent hull failure.
What does the hull of a yacht do?
The hull of a yacht is designed to allow the vessel to float and support the rest of the structure. The hull is largely underwater but plays a vital role in the integrity and structure of the ship.
What is the hull limited by?
The hull is typically limited by the outer boundaries of a ship or vessel's structure, encompassing its shape and design. It is defined by the waterline, deck, and the keel, which collectively determine the vessel's stability and buoyancy. Additionally, the hull's dimensions are influenced by regulatory standards and design specifications for safety and performance.
What does hull speed mean?
Hull speed is the theoretical limit of a sailcraft's speed. It can be approximated by the following formula: 1.34 * SQRT(LWL), where LWL is the length of the waterline, in feet. As a small vessel approaches its hull speed, the hull begins to climb its own bow wave. The faster the vessel tries to go, the more difficult climbing the bow wave becomes. Eventually, should the hull type permit it, the hull will begin to hydroplane (skimming across the water.
What is plimsoll marking?
They are marks on the external hull of a vessel showing how deeply the vessel may be loaded. Incorporated in the Merchant Shipping Act of 1876
