HOW IS WIRE ROPE AND LINE CLASSIFIED?
|
-WIRE ROPE BY DIAMETER
-LINE BY CIRCUMFERENCE
|
WHICH TYPE OF MOORING LINE HAS
THE MOST STRENGTH?
|
-SYNTHETIC
|
WHAT IS THE MOORING LINE USED ON THE CABLE MADE OF?
|
-KEVLAR
|
WHAT IS A TATTLETALE USED FOR AND ARE THEY ONBOARD?
|
-USED TO GIVE VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE STRAIN PLACED ON A MOORING LINE.
-NOT ONBOARD
|
HOW MANY STANDARD MOORING LINES ARE USED TO TIE UP THE CABLE?
|
11 TOTAL
|
HOW ARE THE MOORING LINES NUMBERED?
|
-FORE TO AFT
-1 THRU 11
|
WHAT IS MEANT BY CHECK THE LINE?
|
HOLD TENSION, ALLOW LINE TO SLIP IF STRAIN BECOMES EXCESSIVE
|
DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3-STRAND, AND DOUBLE BRAID SYNTHETIC MOORING LINE WITH RESPECT TO STRENGTH, BREAKING CHARACTERISTICS AND DURABILITY.
|
-STRENGTH: DOUBLE BRAID IS STRONGER THAN 3 STRAND
-BREAKING CHARACTERISTICS: DOUBLE BRAID HAS HIGHER BREAKING CHARACTERISTICS
-DURABILITY: DOUBLE BRAID IS MORE DURABLE
|
EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THE FOLLOWING LINE-HANDLING COMMANDS: HOLD, CHECK, EASE, SLACK, TAKE-IN, CAST-OFF, AVAST, HEAVE AROUND
|
-HOLD: SECURE LINE SO IT DOESN'T SLIP
-CHECK: LET LINE SURGE LITTLE AT A TIME TO PREVENT LINE FROM PARTING
-EASE: LET LINE OUT SMOOTHLY, KEEP TAUGHT
-SLACK: ALLOW LINE TO RUN OUT USING HAND OVER HAND, KEEPING OUT OF WATER
-TAKE-IN: BRING LINE ONBOARD
-CAST-OFF: REMOVE LINE FROM BITT
-AVAST: HOLD LINE, DO NOT SLACK OR HEAVE AROUND
- HEAVE AROUND: PULL ON LINE
|
DEFINE SWING CIRCLE AND DRAG CIRCLE
|
-SWING CIRCLE: AMOUNT OF CHAIN RELEASED, DISTANCE HAWSPIPE PLUS SHIPS LENGTH
-DRAG CIRCLE: AMOUNT OF CHAIN RELEASED, DISTANCE HAWSPIPE TO PELORUS
|
DEFINE THESE TERMS AS THEY APPLY TO SMALL BOATS
|
-SEA PAINTER: A LINE LED WELL FWD ON THE SHIP TO A BOAT ALONGSIDE
-STEADY LINES: LINES USED TO STEADY THE BOAT DURING HOISTING AND LOWERING
-MANROPES (MONKEY LINES): A SAFETY LINE MADE UP WITH A SERIES OF OVERHAND OR FIGURE 8 KNOTS EVENLY SPACED TO ASSIST PERSONNEL CLIMBING UP AND DOWN
|
DESCRIBE THE PURPOSE OF THE FOLLOWING AS APPLIED TO GROUND TACKLE: BIT, CHOCK, CLEAT, BULLNOSE, HAWSE PIPE, CHAIN, TURNBUCKLE, GYPSY HEAD, CAPSTAN, DETACHABLE LINK, CHAIN MARKING, ANCHOR, CHAIN STOPPER, PELICAN HOOK, WILDCAT, ANCHOR BRAKE, ANCHOR BOUY.
|
-BIT: MAKES LINES FAST THAT HAVE BEEN FAIRLED THROUGH CHOCKS
-CHOCK: SMOOTH SURFACE WHICH MOORING LINES ARFE LED TO PREVENT THEM FROM CHAFFING
-CLEAT: USED FOR BELAYING A LINE OR WIRE
-BULLNOSE: A HOLE IN THE BOW USED FOR BEING TOWED OR MOORING TO A BUOY
-HAWSE PIPE: PIPE WHERE ACHOR IS HAWSED
-CHAIN: HOLD THE SHIP N PLACE WHEN AT ANCHORAGE
-TURNBUCKLE: USED ON THE STOPPER ASSEMBLY TO SECURE THE ANCHOR
-GYPSY HEAD: USED TO HEAVE AROUND ON THE LINES AND WIRES
-CAPSTAN: USED TO HEAVE IN ON MOORING LINES AND WIRES
-DETACHABLE LINK: USED TO CONNECT LINKS OF CHAIN TOGETHER
-CHAIN MARKING; LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH CHAIN YOU HAVE OUT ON DECK
-ANCHOR: USED TO HOLD SHIPS POSITION
-CHAIN STOPPER: USED TO SECURE THE CHAIN AND ANCHOR
-PELICAN HOOK: PART OF THE STOPPER THAT ACTUALLY SECURES THE CHAIN
-WILDCAT: USED FOR HOISTING AND CONTROLLED LOWERING OF THE ANCHOR
-ANCHOR BRAKE: KEEPS THE CHAIN FROM PAYING OUT
-ANCHOR BOUY: IDENTS WHERE ANCHOR IS WHEN AT ANCHOR
|
HOW MANY ANCHORS DO WE CARRY ONBOARD AND WHAT IS THEIR WEIGHT AND LOCATION?
|
-3 TOTAL. NAVY STANDARD STOCKLESS
-2 FWD, 20 TONS EACH
-1 AFT, 10 TONS
|
WHAT IS THE NEXT TO LAST SHOT ON THE ANCHOR CHAIN CALLED, ADN WHAT COLOR IS IT?
|
-WARNING SHOT
-YELLOW
|
WHAT IS MEANT BY DRAG CIRCLE?
|
SCOPE OF THE CHAIN PLUS THE DISTANCE FROM THE FORECASTLE TO THE PILOTHOUSE
|
