60. When towing, what is the main reason for using a chain bridle on a wire hawser?
A chain bridle is used with a wire hawser to cushion shock loads caused by changes in distance between the tug and tow. The chain's weight and sag create a spring-like effect, reducing stress on the towline and fittings. While chain bridles offer secondary benefits like chafe resistance and ease of connection, their primary function is to absorb shock.
