Hull Integrity
Hull integrity refers to the strength and condition of a vessel's outer shell, ensuring it can withstand the forces of its environment, such as pressure, impacts, and corrosion. It’s essential for keeping water or other substances inside and maintaining the safety of those on board. Regular inspections and maintenance are needed to detect and repair any damage or weaknesses, preventing potential leaks or structural failures. Overall, hull integrity is crucial for the safety, durability, and operational efficiency of ships, submarines, and underwater structures.
