Question 1136 Deck Safety

The correct answer is D) 23. Item number 23 in the illustration D014SA correctly identifies the floating sheath knife. This is because the Coast Guard regulations require mariners to have a floating sheath knife readily available for emergency use, such as cutting a line or tether in the water. The floating feature ensures the knife remains accessible and does not sink if dropped overboard. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not correspond to the floating sheath knife in the illustration. A) 4 is likely a different type of knife or tool, B) 8 could be a different safety item, and C) 22 is not the floating sheath knife.
