238. Which structural members improve a towing vessel's chance of surviving punctured shell plating?
Transverse watertight bulkheads divide the hull into sealed compartments, containing flooding from punctures and limiting floodable length, a key principle of damage stability. Stringers and longitudinals provide longitudinal strength but are not watertight, and a rake affects hydrodynamic performance, not subdivision.
