147. Which is the proper term used to describe a stream of water immediately surrounding a moving vessel's hull, flowing in the same direction as the vessel?
Wake current is the correct term; it describes the water immediately alongside and astern of a moving hull, dragged along in the same direction as the vessel. This flow is distinct from broader currents and localized propeller wash, and understanding it is important in ship handling.
