英语百科

Hulk (ship type)

(重定向自Sheer hulk)
A hulk moored in Toulon harbour
Sheer hulk at Sheerness Dockyard positioned to make a lift
French ship Mars, barracks for marines
Her front line days over, HMS Temeraire served as a prison hulk, receiving ship, victualing depot, and finally a guard ship before being paid off and sold to the breakers.

A hulk is a ship that is afloat, but incapable of going to sea. Although sometimes used to describe a ship that has been launched but not completed, the term most often refers to an old ship that has had its rigging or internal equipment removed, retaining only its flotational qualities. The word "hulk" is also used as a verb: a ship is "hulked" to convert it to a hulk.
