Boss taught me about V-Lines a few weeks ago:

1. First you start out with the (cross-section) of the ship’s hull:

2. Then you add the innerbottom (lowermost deck).

3. The V-Lines get added, which show the maximum heel of the ship at maximum draft in a damage situation (read: Whatever is inside the “V” won’t get wet)

4. This means that you can’t place non-watertight penetrations, like some kinds of pipes, passageways, etc., going through watertight bulkheads outside of the “V”. So those things cannot be here:

Or here:

And ever since then, I’ve been teaching everyone else in my department about V-Lines so I can draw this diagram for them. This series of drawings and explanation was actually NewGirl’s handywork after I asked her to draw this up in CAD. We then proceeded to print out a sheet of 20 of these faces and left them around our department.

The best part? We left one on Boss’s monitor and now he wants a T-shirt! He came by the next day, and while he was sitting in my office waiting for me to find/send him some files, he was writing/drawing in his notebook. When I finished, he showed me the mock-up he had drawn of the Angry V-Line Face on a T-shirt. Apparently, he got bored waiting 5 minutes.

Also priceless: Boss Jr asked why there was a V-Line on his desk. Uh, because it’s a face? And it’s funny..? Sigh…
