Third-person singular simple present indicative form of deckhand

A sail warship, which carried her guns on two fully-armed decks. Usually additional guns were carried on the upper works (forecastle and quarterdeck) but this was not a continuous battery so was not counted.

A vehicle (usually a bus, coach or train) or aircraft with two floors. / A frigate with two decks above the waterline. / (figuratively) Any object with two layers or parts stacked on top of each other.
