What is Steering wheel (ship)?
[[Image:FS Clemenceau (R98), steering wheel.jpg|thumb|Wheel of the French carrier ''[[FS Clemenceau|Clémenceau]]''.]] The '''wheel''' of a [[ship]] is the modern method of changing the angle of the [[rudder]] to change the direction of the [[boat]] or [[ship]]. It is also called the galver, together with the rest of the [[steering]] mechanism. The wheel is typically connected to a mechanical or [[Hydraulics|hydraulic]] system. The idea of [[tractor]]s, [[automobile]]s, and similar land vehicles having a [[steering wheel]] probably evolved directly from the ship's wheel. ==Gallery== <gallery> Image:Grand Turk(29).jpg|At the helm - on the frigate [[Grand Turk (frigate)|Grand Turk]] Image:FS_Belle_Poule_Wheel.jpg|Wheel of the [[brigantine]] ''[[FS_Belle_Poule|La Belle Poule]]'' Image:Nautilus Nemo bridge.jpg|Wheel of the [[submarine]] ''[[ Nautilus (Verne)|Nautilus]]'' in ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' Image:Passumpsic wheel.jpg|Wheelstand, USNS Passumpsic. </gallery> {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Ship building]]
