Bilge strake is defined as what?

Corner plate of the ship Deck strake Hull girder Forepeak plate

Correct Answer:

Corner plate of the ship

Explanation:

In hull construction, the bilge region is where the bottom shell meets the side shell. A strake is a continuous strip or plate along the hull, and the bilge strake specifically forms the corner at that junction. So the bilge strake is the corner plate of the hull where bottom and side meet around the bilge line. It’s not a deck strake (that would run along the deck), not the hull girder (the main longitudinal structural element), and not the forepeak plate (located in the forward tank area).
