longitudinal bulkhead

Though not entirely watertight, these longitudinal bulkheads trapped water between them.

After two weeks in a heavy storm, the longitudinal bulkhead gave way and the ship assumed a list of 55 degrees.

He pointed up at a narrow stream trickling down the far longitudinal bulkhead.

The engine and condenser rooms were divided by two longitudinal bulkheads.

Eliminating longitudinal bulkheads would result in much wider tanks, significantly increasing the free surface effect.

They also had a centreline longitudinal bulkhead, presumably separating the engine rooms.

However, water was still entering the central engine room, probably because of damage to the bottom of the longitudinal bulkhead.

The engine room was divided by two longitudinal bulkheads and a double bottom was provided.

He leaned against the longitudinal bulkhead, distantly surprised at how long it was taking to regain his breath.

These holds were further subdivided into port and starboard sections by a longitudinal bulkhead.

The spaces between longitudinal bulkheads and inner side walls, 6 to 8 ft wide, served as coal bunkers.

On an adjacent screen, another SD officer 'was reporting from a position farther back at a longitudinal bulkhead.

Longitudinal bulkheads have a similar purpose, but damaged stability effects must be taken into account to eliminate excessive heeling.

In addition, her machinery spaces were further subdivided by transverse and longitudinal bulkheads to limit any flooding.

The ship's hull was divided by six watertight transverse and two longitudinal bulkheads for protection against underwater damage.

The designers got rid of the previously required central longitudinal bulkhead and attempted to raise the double bottom to provide greater protection against magnetic torpedoes.

The longitudinal bulkheads of the side protection system were raised one deck higher to further subdivide the spaces behind the waterline armour belt.

The two sets, each with a condenser, were housed in port and starboard engine-rooms separated by a longitudinal bulkhead.

A double bottom extended past the armored traverse bulkheads and a thin longitudinal bulkhead provided some measure of protection against flooding.

A longitudinal bulkhead divided the vessel into two non-communicating halves, each of which was fully equipped to propel the ship.

To protect against underwater explosions, the ship was fitted with longitudinal bulkheads 1 to 1.5 inches thick that ran from the forward to the rear magazines.

Furthermore, a double-hulled tanker does not need longitudinal bulkheads for longitudinal strength, as the inner hull already provides this.

Inside the inner walls the ship had ten watertight transverse bulkheads of varying height and two longitudinal bulkheads.

A third idea, also adopted, was to continue the longitudinal bulkhead between the protective and splinter decks down to the bottom of the ship to add strength.

The British commission that had investigated the Titanic disaster in 1912 heard testimony on the flooding of coal bunkers lying outside longitudinal bulkheads.
