How do dentists/surgeons on Navy vessels work while the vessels are pushed around by ocean waves?
In: Physics
Turning a ship towards the incoming wind or wave direction is usually something that is done when a surgery cannot be postponed or avoided. By choosing the most centred area any form of ship movement is reduced even more. Some larger ships have specialized forms of attachments for surgery tables and alike stations. Generally spoken: the less wind and waves cross direction the easier it is to turn the ship into a direction that makes movements either very smooth or at least tolerable for experienced crew.
