fan tail
Jutting aft section
A fan tail is a tail that spreads out in a fan shape, or a bird or fish having such a tail.
Fantail pigeons and fantail goldfish are bred for this decorative feature.
On ships, the fantail is the overhanging stern section, often used as a deck area.
The word appears as both fan tail and fantail.
