Slight change of subject, I was reading a Tom Clancy book yesterday and the bad guys opened the seacocks and sank a cargo boat. I spent 15 years on Merchant ships obtained a chiefs motor ticket then spent almost 30 years on floating drilling rigs semi-subs and drillships and never came across the term seacocks.

I googled seacocks today and found to my surprise that on yachts the ships side valves are actually called sea cocks looks like you are never too old to learn something.
