Ship's freeboard
There were 4 stories (passenger decks) including the main deck. The ship was 11 stories high from the keel to the boat deck, 9 stories high from the waterline to the boat deck.
Hi, The main observation deck is 186m The top observation deck is the 'Skydeck'. It sits just below the main attena at 220m. Hope this helped :)
The height of an average cruise ship above the waterline to the deck typically ranges from about 30 to 50 feet, depending on the ship's design and size. Some larger vessels may have heights exceeding 60 feet. This measurement includes the main deck where passengers embark and enjoy amenities, but does not account for additional structures like funnels or observation decks that can rise significantly higher.
The freeboard deck on a ship refers to the vertical distance between the waterline and the upper edge of the ship's deck. It is an important factor in ship design, as it helps determine the vessel's stability and safety in rough waters. The freeboard deck is typically the main deck or the highest continuous deck that contributes to the ship's overall freeboard measurement. Ensuring adequate freeboard is crucial for preventing water from entering the vessel in adverse conditions.
The main deck of the Empire State Building offers panoramic views of New York City from a lower height, while the top deck provides a higher vantage point with even more expansive views. Visitors on the top deck may experience stronger winds and a more open-air feel compared to the main deck.
Apparently it was the deck immediately below the main deck, and primarally a cargo hold, but converted with light engineering to accomodate passengers
On the latest US Nimitz class carriers, fully ladened, at rest and in calm seas, the height off of the water of the main deck is about 57 feet. The earlier Midway and Essex class carriers were a bit less.
The O2 deck is typically located on a ship, often referring to the second deck above the main deck in maritime terminology. In some contexts, particularly in cruise ships or naval vessels, it may serve various recreational or operational purposes. The exact location can vary depending on the specific design of the ship.
Battleships had an armored belt along the waterline. It was intended to stop shells that hit their sides and to prevent flooding by underwater explosions due to near misses. World War II battleships had lighter upper armored belts to protect sides up to the main or weather deck. Main belt thickness along the waterline ranged from 10" to 15", upper belt thickness ranged from 4" to 10".
No, it doesn't. The 40-60 limitation is for your main deck only.
