Study Guide - Basic Military Requirements (BMR CH 7)
Ground tackle used on board ship includes—
a. Anchors
b. Anchor cable and chains
c. Chain stoppers
d. Bending shackles
e. Outboard swivel shots
f. Detachable links
Bower anchors are carried on the bow of a ship and secured in the hawspipe.
The standard mooring lines used to secure a normal size ship at a pier include the—
a. Bowline
b. Forward bow spring
c. After bow spring
d. Forward quarter spring
e. After quarter spring
f. Stern line
Aboard ship, deck fittings are used in securing mooring lines, in towing operations, and in securing heavy objects and equipment.
Boat booms are used to moor the ship’s boat while anchored.
Combatant craft include—
a. Mechanized landing craft (LCM)
b. Utility landing craft (LCU)
The term athwartships refers to the position of something that is across the boat from side to side at a right angle.
Three advantages of using nylon line over natural fiber line include—
a. Nylon line is 2 1/2 times stronger than natural fiber.
b. Nylon has greater strength and elasticity.
c. Nylon has greater resistance to weather.
To protect a natural fiber line from sharp edges and rough surfaces, you should use a chafing gear between the contact point of the line and the damaging surface.
You should use a wire rope when a great deal of wear and tear and weathering and heat is met, and greater strength is needed.
The overhand loop should be turned in a counterclockwise direction.
The first step you should take when joining two separate lines together using a beck bend is to make a bight on one line and run the bitter end of the other line up through the bight.
