English to Spanish translations [Non-PRO] Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime
English term or phrase:displacement hull
what is the translation of this word in spanish, please.
Explanation: I think we'll need more context... or the expression is backwards, or it might mean "casco de desplazamiento", but in this case, I don't get the idea in Spanish... Please, check and send more context.
BTW, if they're talking about the tonnage of the ship, it's definitely "desplazamiento del casco", otherwise, we'll have to see the context... Good luck!

Explanation: Como no hay más contexto, te paso a dar una de las explicaciones:
se trata de un fondo de casco forrado con chapas y, además de aislar el barco del agua, esa curvatura llamada también "brusca de los baos", facilita la evacuación del agua. No sé si te sirve. Fijate

Explanation: Hay tres tipos de cascos:
- de desplazamiento (displacement hull), todo el casco navega siempre dentro del agua
- de semi-desplazamiento (semi-planing hull), sale del agua una parte pequeña del casco
- de planeo (planing hull), sale del agua la mayor parte del casco
