Sound (nautical)
text:
In nautical terms, the word sound is used to describe the process of determining the depth of water in a tank or under a ship. Tanks are sounded to determine if they are full or empty and for other reasons. Soundings may also be taken of the water around a ship if it is in shallow water to aid in navigation.
