A 11,932.8 long tons
B 12,232.8 long tons
C 12,602.9 long tons
D 18,919.8 long tons
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) 11,932.8 long tons. The displacement of a vessel can be calculated using the formula: Displacement = (Density of water x Volume of the vessel). For a vessel with a draft of 19.5 feet in fresh water, the density of water is 62.4 lbs/ft^3. Using this information and the formula, the displacement of the DEEP DRILLER is calculated to be 11,932.8 long tons. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the displacement of the vessel based on the given draft and density of fresh water.
