👉 Underwinding is a phenomenon in which the top and bottom halves of a ship's hull are turned inward, creating a curved profile. This can be caused by various factors such as structural flaws or damage to the hull itself. In marine engineering, underwinding can lead to structural failure, corrosion, and other problems that require immediate attention. It is important for ships to maintain their structural integrity and stability, especially in areas where the hull is particularly vulnerable, such as near the bow or stern.
