70% to pass

The forward draft of your ship is 27'-11" and the after draft is 29'-03". The draft amidships is 28'-05". Your vessel is _______________.

A trimmed by the head
B sagged
C hogged
D listed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) hogged. Hogging refers to a condition where the middle of the ship sags downwards, resulting in a higher draft amidships compared to the forward and aft drafts. In this case, the forward draft is 27'-11", the aft draft is 29'-03", and the amidships draft is 28'-05", indicating that the ship's center is sagging or hogged. The other options are incorrect: A) trimmed by the head refers to a ship that is lower in the front, B) sagged refers to a ship that is lower in the middle, and D) listed refers to a ship that is leaning to one side.
