Hogging is when the ends of a ship droop down relative to the middle. It is the opposite of sagging. A naval architect tries to make the distribution of weight in a ship roughly match the distribution of buoyancy. If the centre of the vessel is very buoyant (i.e. has a big volume) relative to its weight, then the hull will hog if its structure is not rigid enough. If the ends are buoyant and the centre is heavy, it may cause the hull to sag. So a hog in the keel is a vertical bend with the middle higher than the ends. It is generally a sign that the hull is too weak or flexible, and the vessel has fine ends, carrying too much weight in the bow and the stern.
Hogging and sagging are often associated with badly planned loading of cargo ships.

What is a flat plate keel?
In boats and ships, keel can refer to either of two parts: a structural element, or a hydrodynamic element. These parts overlap. As the laying down of the keel is the initial step in construction of a ship, in British and American shipbuilding traditions the construction is dated from this event. Only the ship's launching is considered more significant in its creation.

Do you use a keel to determine a ships latitude?
A keel has nothing to do with the latitude.A keel does two things:structurally, it acts as the spine(or the breastbone) of the ship to tie the crosswise "ribs" together and provide strength.If the keel is seen on the outside of the hull as a fairly narrow ridge running fore-aft, it'll also help the boat stay on course. This is particularly important for sailing ships, for which the wind will try to push them sideways.Smaller yachts and sailboats can have a fin-like keel sticking straight down instead of a long ridge.Even smaller boats will have a daggerboard doing the same service
What does a hog farmer use hog manure for?
Fertilizer, animal waste is sold for this purpose. By the way Pig Boats is an old slang term for submarines., Italian Midget subs were almost always called Pig Boats or Maiale. Legend has it could come from hog-like shape of the hull or the fact they were in camouflaged storage on- my guess in tractor sheds- Pig Farms! Oink Oink. Pig Boat crewmen had oxygen helmets but not gas masks so it was not from dirty odors!
