70% to passIf the DEEP DRILLER is damaged, the unit is designed to avoid downflooding in wind speeds up to _______________.
A
50 knots
B
70 knots
C
90 knots
D
100 knots
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 50 knots. The DEEP DRILLER unit is designed to avoid downflooding (the uncontrolled entry of water into the vessel) in wind speeds up to 50 knots. This is a key safety feature to prevent the vessel from capsizing or sinking in heavy weather conditions. The other answer choices of 70, 90, and 100 knots are incorrect, as the DEEP DRILLER is not rated to withstand those higher wind speeds without the risk of downflooding.
