What does RAZEE mean in Scrabble?
verb
nauticalhistorical
To cut down a sailing ship by removing one or more upper decks, converting it to a smaller, lighter class of vessel.
Cutting down a ship this way meant sawing away its highest deck or decks so that a large, slow warship became a smaller, faster, and more heavily armed vessel relative to its new size. Naval officers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used the technique to turn old or damaged ships of the line into effective frigates rather than scrapping them outright. The word can also serve as a noun for a ship that has undergone this treatment. Because the practice belongs to the age of sail, razee now appears mainly in naval history rather than in modern shipbuilding.
