flat keel

In line with the traditional structure of Korean ships, the panokseon had a flat keel.

They settled about three feet below deck level, on a flat keel with a convenient access point by the starboard bridge.

Instantly her lower decks flooded, and the ship settled rapidly to the bottom, only a few feet below her flat keel.

Protector was the first submarine to have diving planes mounted forward of the conning tower and a flat keel.

Its draught was relatively shallow, about 1 metre, which, in addition to the relatively flat keel and low weight, allowed it to be beached easily.

A flat keel enables a ship to sit comfortably on the tideland when the tide was out, after coming ashore or inside a wharf at high water.

This section of the Zamjan was twelve metres deep, giving her a good ten metres of clearance below the flat keel, even overloaded like this.

Korean ships in contrast fielded multiple sails and crews providing oar power, and were constructed with a flat keel that enabled sharp turns.

In the farmyard, he grabs a 5-week-old duck by its neck and runs his hand down its chest, pointing out the broad, thick expanse of muscle along its flat keel bone.

In addition, there were smaller oared vessels, such as the navis actuaria, with 30 oars (15 on each bank), a ship primarily used for transport in coastal and fluvial operations, for which its shallow draught and flat keel were ideal.
