The forward draft of your ship is 27'-11" and the after draft is 29'-03". The draft amidships is 28'-05". Your vessel is __________.

Correct Answer: Option C — hogged

Comparing drafts reveals hull deflection; when the mean of the forward and aft drafts is significantly less than the midships draft (28'-05" compared to 28'-04"), the hull girder is bent upward at the center, denoting hogging.
