Forgive me, a newbie and completely ignorant when it comes to things nautical, but I'm looking for a word that will cover any type of keel that protrudes significantly from the hull of a ship. As a landlubber, I'm tempted to say "ships with keels", but of course, all ships have keels (except, I suppose, flat-bottomed barges and the like). Wikipedia has a long list of types of keel: full keels, long keels, fin keels, winged keels, bulb keels, and bilge keels, but no general term for keels that protrude.

Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

Many thanks.
