SECTION-E
Ans- Reading a drawing is crucial in ship modeling as it provides essential
16. 2 (Kn)
information for constructing the model accurately. The drawing, also known as a
constructional chart, assembled plan, or blueprint, includes two key aspects: the
Top View or 'Plan' and the Side View or 'Elevation.' From these views, modelers
can measure the length, breadth, height, and thickness of various parts of the
superstructure. This ensures that the model is built to scale and matches the
intended design.
17. Ans- Cooling is a principle of firefighting that involves bringing down the 2 (Kn)
temperature or removing the heat from the fire. Water is the most effective agent
for cooling and is readily available on ships for extinguishing fires. In this method,
water is applied directly to the burning materials, not to the flames, to lower their
temperature and suppress the fire.
(OR)
Ans- Smothering is a principle of firefighting that aims to cut off the air supply to
the fire, thereby depriving it of oxygen. This is achieved using various firefighting
equipment such as CO2 smothering systems and foam appliances. Additionally,
closing all port holes, hatches, and ventilation fans helps in restrict the airflow to
the fire. By eliminating the oxygen supply, smothering extinguishes the fire
effectively.
18. Ans- The International Nautical Mile (nm) is preferred over other units of 2
measurement in maritime navigation because it provides a standard and fixed (App)
length of 1852 meters. This uniformity simplifies navigation calculations and
ensures consistency in maritime communications and operations. Distances given
in admiralty distance tables and ocean passage charts are typically in
international nautical miles (nm), facilitating easy interpretation and navigation
for sailors.
19. 2 (U)
Ans-The primary aim of Search & Rescue (SAR) operations is to
locate individuals who are in distress during disasters or in imminent
danger and provide them with all possible help and aid. Those who
typically benefit from these operations are individuals affected by
disasters or in imminent danger.
(OR)
Ans- The Butterfly swimming style is performed face down in water.
The legs perform a dolphin kick, while the arms move in a forward
circle simultaneously. This style requires synchronous movement of
both the arms and legs, resembling the motion of a butterfly's wings.
20. Ans- The sinking of INS Khukri occurred when a Pakistani submarine, Hangor, 4 (U)
successfully torpedoed and sank the frigate Khukri. The incident occurred on the
evening of December 9th while Khukri and another frigate, Kirpan, were deployed
to flush away the detected submarine off the Saurashtra coast near Bombay.
(OR)
Ans- Operation Chutney, initiated by Naval Headquarters on December 1, aimed
to establish surveillance and patrolling activities off the Goan coast. The objective
was to monitor all ingress and egress of shipping, aircraft, and personnel into and
out of the Portuguese enclaves. Additionally, it involved retaliating with necessary
force if engaged by Portuguese units in the air or on the surface. The operation
utilized two anti-aircraft frigates, Betwa and Beas, which commenced a linear
patrol 13 kilometers from the coast.

b) Maintenance Command (MC) Nagpur, Maharashtra.
20. The four forces acting on it are: 4 (an)
a) Lift is the vertical component of the Total Reaction, resolved at right angles
to the relative airflow.
b) Weight is the force that causes objects to fall downwards.
c) Thrust is the force that propels an object forward.
d) Drag is the horizontal component of the Total Reaction acting at angles and
in the same direction as the relative airflow.
(OR)
Ans20:
e) Lift : The vertical component of the Total Reaction, resolved at right angles
to the relative airflow.
f) Drag is the horizontal component of the Total Reaction acting at angles and
in the same direction as the relative airflow.
g) Aerofoil: This is a body designed to produce more lift than drag. A typical
aerofoil section is cambered on the top surface and more or less straight at
the bottom.
h) Angle of attack: It is the angle between the chord line and the relative air
flow undisturbed by the presence of aerofoil.
