70% to pass

Two types of anchor shackles which are currently available are _______________.

A U-Type and posilok shackles
B C-Type and wedge shackles
C wedge and kenter shackles
D D-Type and bow shackles
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) D-Type and bow shackles. The U.S. Coast Guard regulations and industry standards recognize two main types of anchor shackles - D-type shackles and bow shackles. D-type shackles have a D-shaped body, while bow shackles have a more rounded, u-shaped body. These are the two standard anchor shackle types used in maritime applications and tested on Coast Guard Captain's License exams. The other answer choices are incorrect, as C-type, wedge, and kenter shackles are not the primary anchor shackle types specified by the Coast Guard for examination purposes.
