70% to pass

The SS AMERICAN MARINER will sail with the load shown in table ST-0016 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the drafts.

A FWD 23'-07", AFT 26'-07"
B FWD 24'-06", AFT 25'-10"
C FWD 24'-01", AFT 26'-02"
D FWD 23'-03", AFT 27'-00"
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) FWD 23'-07", AFT 26'-07". This is the correct answer because by using the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book and the load information provided in table ST-0016, the drafts can be determined to be 23'-07" forward and 26'-07" aft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the drafts calculated using the provided information and reference book. Options B, C, and D list different forward and aft drafts that do not align with the correct values.
