I was about to ask a / that question, as I thought 'oil canning' referred to as you described Phil, and couldn't / wouldn't expect to see that in the photo (given she had never been to sea). I wonder then if Mr Church is referring to / describing something else?
Yes, Pgollin perhaps misunderstood Church's comments. One careful look at the pic and you can clearly see canning effect on the freeboard that is references. And it cannot be mistaken for plates overlapping. I would refer you to the pic he posted and ask to zoom in on the white hull portions that would be above water. I dont know why actually they appear there, however. Those usually developed after sailing in rough seas over time (or just after sailing for long time). So it remains to be understood why it is there, but it is on the non-armorered part of the hull, it would seem...

Yes what Mr. Church refers to at least appears very much as oil-canning. You are not wrong when you talk about overlapping plates, but this is NOT what Church talks above. Look again - the hull freeboard above the antifouling paint (which is red black or grey, have fun with that one separately). You can see, clearly, a lot of vertical ridges running close to each other, with that distinct oil canning effect.
