Damage Stability (2 cr)

Objective

Ability to control trim, stability, and stress. Ability to calculate trim and stability after a fictitious leakage. Understanding of fundamental principles of ship construction and the theories affecting trim and stability ,and measures necessary to preserve trim and stability. Knowledge of the effect on trim and stability of a ship in the event of damage to and consequent flooding of a compartment and countermeasures to be taken.
