Squat (shipping term)

Squat (shipping term) is an older article on the same subject. Kablammo (talk) 09:43, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have combined the content (eliminating duplication) and redirected Squat (Shipping term) to Squat Effect. Roregan (talk) 05:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reader's feedback

>>> This article is seriously flawed and should be removed for the following reasons: (1) While "Squat" is a common term used in naval architecture "squat effect" is a term that seems to be made up by the authors of this wiki page and a few others on the internet but not in any hydrodynamics offices... (2) References do not support the text (3) The "Bernoulli effect" explanation is just plain wrong. It is the wave pattern around the ship that causes squat. >>>

I would disagree that waves are the cause, because wave amplitudes and periods are insignificant, in the case where this effect would be seen, compared to large ships' sizes. The diagrams are actually misleading in this respect.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:22, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Allure of the Seas

According to the article of Allure of the Seas, it was this ship, not her sister ship Oasis of the Seas, that passed under the low bridge. Or perhaps they both did, but in any case, they are almost identical, and the article on the Allure specifically says it was the Allure, and that the whole story about the squat effect being the only thing that allowed sufficient clearance is a myth created by sensationalist media types, who claimed that the funnels only cleared the bridge by a foot, when in reality it was several meters, meaning that it would have had sufficient clearance regardless. This means that any squat effect present had no impact on whether the ship could clear the bridge. I added a statement to this effect on the main page, but for some reason I am unable to add any references; when I click "edit section", it just shows text saying "/references", and in Beta, it just gives me a template that doesn't seem to do anything at all..45Colt 03:54, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
