In the event of damage to the DEEP DRILLER which results in flooding to one of the lower-hull tanks, pump from _______________.

A nearby undamaged tanks containing ballast

B tanks on the opposite corner

C the opposite trim tank

D nearby damaged tanks

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) nearby undamaged tanks containing ballast. In the event of flooding to one of the lower-hull tanks, the proper procedure is to pump from nearby undamaged tanks containing ballast. This helps maintain the stability and trim of the vessel by transferring weight from the flooded tank to the undamaged ballast tanks. Pumping from tanks on the opposite corner (B) or the opposite trim tank (C) would not effectively address the flooding issue. Pumping from nearby damaged tanks (D) could further exacerbate the problem and lead to additional stability concerns.
