[edit] metacentric height
This paragraph conflict with my understanding of stability. Since the next paragraph depends on it, I am trying to look up this term, rather than simply changing it now. David R. Ingham 19:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
I find "As the ship is inclined through small angles of heel, the lines of buoyant force intersect at a point called the metacenter." For stability, the center of gravity must be below the metacentric hight. Will try to fix article to agree with this. David R. Ingham 20:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
