Peeeeeeeeeej
admiral is a term for a commander of the US Naval fleet - if you were to use a general term for the commander of a fleet it actually is Commodore

Admiral is not just used for the US fleet.

Great quiz! I'd love to see a second edition, perhaps with terms such as keel, rudder, transom, poop deck, etc.

Seems "Avast" should be acceptable for "ahoy".

hook for anchor, fantail for aft, forecastle or foc'sle for forward are a few variations on the terms that are used day to day on board Coast Guard and NAVY boats. also before it was called the port side it was known as the larboard side (this is the side that was used as the loading side) later changed to port to avoid confusion with starboard. starboard is known as starboard because before rudders ships used a steering board that was located on the right side of a ship.

the hull is not the frame of the ship but the exterior exposed to the water. Frame is the technical term for the skeleton of the ship.

100% but only :18 to spare. For the life of me I couldn't remember ballast or leeward for like a whole minute, lol

Avast is not a hailing term; it means "stop what you're doing!", as in "avast hauling there!" or "avast rowing!".

Suggest you accept "alee" for "leeward".
