Nice job Ma'am! 🙂 The duck tail serves the dual purpose of enhancing the stability of the ship as it increases the surface contact of the ship and it helps with consuming less fuel. When the ship speeds up, the stern sinks in, a normal phenomenon called "squat". The ducktail lets the stern “sit” on the water instead of having it sink in. In a similar way as a spoiler does on race cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
