70% to pass

Among the valves to open on the DEEP DRILLER, if you have to transfer ballast from Tank 1P to Tank 10S using #1 ballast pump, is valve _______________.

A 33 Starboard
B 33 Port
C 44 Port
D 44 Starboard
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 33 Starboard. To transfer ballast from Tank 1P to Tank 10S using the #1 ballast pump, you would need to open valve 33 Starboard. This valve connects the #1 ballast pump to Tank 1P, allowing the pump to transfer the ballast from that tank. Valve 33 Port, 44 Port, and 44 Starboard would not be the correct valves to open for this operation. The reasoning behind this is based on the layout and configuration of the ballast system on the DEEP DRILLER, which a US Coast Guard Captain's License exam candidate would need to be familiar with.
