Update Information
Looking at the bow, and the newly added forefoot piece. The equivalent on a sailing warship would be the gripe, I suppose, but I do not really know what this is called or for, so if anyone can tell me, it would be much appreciated!
[Edit]: I have since discovered that it is called a Paravane Skeg, used for towing paravanes. What's a paravane? It is a device, shaped a bit like a torpedo (they can be seen on KGV's deck later in this series), towed under a ship to keep taught a wire, which is intended to cut through the moorings of submarine mines.
No doubt someone will correct me if that is factually squiffy.
