(two) hatches

Hatches are like metallic doors, say on a submarine... some car designs are called 'hatchback' due to the back door to get to the boot..

Peer comment(s):
agree carmelo1 : The answer (hatches) is correct but the explanation is not. Hatches are the deck openings of cargo ships which give access to the cargo holds. The horizontal closures of the hatches are called hatch covers.
