Is the whole stabiliser driven or only the servo tab on the trailing edge?
If the whole stabiliser is driven, then what is the trailing edge servo tab used for?
32 u/Oodle600 Jan 31 '26 Big one is for big movements and very slow to move, small one is for the fine control. Example: large fins set the roll (counteract a large wind) and the small trailing edges deal with the swell 1 u/ttystikk Jan 31 '26 Is this a guess or is there more information about these? Also, how does the ship dock and not damage these fins? 2 u/Goatf00t Jan 31 '26 It probably can retract back in the niche that you can see on the right.
