Based on this data what is the tactical diameter of the turning circle? #10 The turning circle of a vessel making a turn of over 360 degrees is the path followed by the __________. #11 As the propeller turns, voids are formed on the trailing and leading edges of the propeller blades causing a loss of propulsive efficiency, pitting of the blades, and vibration. These voids are known as __________. #12 The force exerted by a propeller which tends to throw the stern right or left is called __________. #13 Sidewise force of the propeller tends to throw a vessel's stern to the right or left, depending on rotation. This force is caused by __________. #14 Which type of rudder may lose its effectiveness at angles of 10 or more degrees? #15 If a tug equipped with flanking rudders is to be turned in a confined circle, when going astern, the stern will move to port the quickest if __________. #16 Flanking rudders effect a vessel's heading because of the __________. #17 Generally, you can best keep a vessel under steering control when the vessel has __________. #18 You are on a large vessel fitted with a right-handed controllable-pitch propeller. When making large speed changes while decreasing pitch, which statement is TRUE? #19 You are aboard a single-screw vessel (right-hand propeller) going full ahead with good headway. The engine is put astern and the rudder is placed hard left. The stern of the vessel will swing to __________. #20 A single-screw vessel going ahead tends to turn more rapidly to port because of propeller __________. #21 Your ship is dead in the water with the rudder amidships. As the right-handed screw starts to turn ahead, the bow will tend to go __________. #22 You are on a large vessel fitted with a right-handed controllable-pitch propeller set at maximum forward pitch.
