DECK BEAM

The aftermost transverse deck beam

The vertical distance from the molded baseline to the top of the freeboard deck beam at side, measured at midlength of the ship

Flat bars or plates fitted at various points on deck girders, stiffeners, or beams as reinforcements to prevent their free flanges from tripping

The main longitudinal deck beam on a ship..

The distance measured on any frame line, from the intersection of the upper deck beam end around the body of the vessel to the corresponding point on the opposite side. The half girth is from the keel centre line to upper deck beam end.

A fore-and-aft reference line at the upper surface of the flat plate keel at the centerline for flush shell plated vessels. Vertical dimensions are measured from a horizontal plane through the baseline, often called the molded baseline.

Multiple component vertical sections forming a reinforced beam or multiple athwartship sections forming a reinforced frame.

1. Also known as trave. 2. A horizontal beam. 3. A beam that runs transversely to the center line of a structure.

1. A beam resting upon several supports, which may be in the same horizontal plane. 2. A beam having several spans in one straight line; generally has at least three supports.

The flat deck used for the launch and recovery of aircraft.
