Category 1 EPIRBs are required to be carried on board _______________.

A all deep draft vessels
B fishing industry vessels
C small passenger vessels on the Great Lakes
D small passenger vessels
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) fishing industry vessels. Category 1 EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) are required to be carried on board fishing industry vessels, as per the regulations set by the US Coast Guard. This requirement ensures that these vessels have a reliable emergency signaling device in case of distress situations at sea. The other options are incorrect because: A) not all deep draft vessels are required to carry Category 1 EPIRBs, C) small passenger vessels on the Great Lakes are not required to carry these devices, and D) small passenger vessels in general do not have a mandatory requirement to carry Category 1 EPIRBs.
