What is the body of a ship is called?

Is the serface tension of the outside of the hull of a vessel equalized when a cavity within the hull of a vessel is filled with water?
This is not a good/valid question as the terms used in it are not compatible I.E. Surface tension has nothing to do with a cavity within the hull (filled or not with water)Perhaps the question was meant to be: Is the displacementof the hull increased when a cavity within the hull of a vessel is filled with water?To this, the answer is yes, as any weight added to the vessel, no matter where it is added (inside a cavity or not) will increase the displacement.The displacement of a vessel such as a ship is a measure of the amount of water that would normally be in the area that the ship now occupies. The weight of this displaced water would be equal to the total weight of the entire ship.
What does the hull of a yacht do?
The hull of a yacht is designed to allow the vessel to float and support the rest of the structure. The hull is largely underwater but plays a vital role in the integrity and structure of the ship.
What does hull speed mean?
Hull speed is the theoretical limit of a sailcraft's speed. It can be approximated by the following formula: 1.34 * SQRT(LWL), where LWL is the length of the waterline, in feet. As a small vessel approaches its hull speed, the hull begins to climb its own bow wave. The faster the vessel tries to go, the more difficult climbing the bow wave becomes. Eventually, should the hull type permit it, the hull will begin to hydroplane (skimming across the water.
What is plimsoll marking?
